We
hope everyone had a great and safe
Thanksgiving. With December here many people
get stressed with the demands on their time due to
less work days in the month to get everything done
and holiday celebrations. Please remember to
take some relaxing time for yourself and if you
have children don't put them off to do something
around the house. They are very special
people, it only takes a few moments to appreciate
them, and it is an opportunity to see happiness in
their eyes. Quality time with children
doesn't always mean hours of your time, sometimes
it is just a few minutes. Don't let that
opportunity pass.
During
this busy month a lot of people are using their
credit card, debit cards, charge cards, and checks
in places that they normally don't. Use
diligence when providing your information to
people, especially online. Never give your
information out to someone who has contacted you
anonymously. Identity Theft is on the
rise and we are starting to see stories about this
everywhere. For information on how to
protect yourself check our website ( www.grpbenefits.net
) or call our office. There is also a lot of
phishing going on so if you receive an email from
someone asking you to verify your information with
them and they ask for your name, date of birth,
social security number, login name, password,
and/or bank account number, DON'T do
it. If it is a legitimate request they
should already know that information. You
should call the company that may have sent the
email by calling the number on your statement not
the number on the email.
We
have made Buck, The Wiry Terrier, our mascot and
his new pages are now online. You can see
them at http://www.grpbenefits.net/BuckLearnedNov2004.htm
His pages are suitable for viewing by any
audience. It would be a great help to us if
you would let your friends know about his
pages.
Be
sure to check our site to get forms, check your
provider directory, find answers to questions, or
just to check on Buck's recent antics. If
you have found our sevices to be helpful to you in
anyway don't hesitate to drop
us a short note and let us know.
With
time being in short supply this month if you need
to know how to convert a traditional cake recipe
to use in the microwave or you need to be
refreshed in how to tie a tie check our
interesting links page http://www.grpbenefits.net/interestinglinks.htm
If
anyone it traveling out of the country or having
guests here from another country its a good idea
to check insurance coverage. If you
need information on a short-term international
travel or tip policy you can get information
online and even print a policy right from your
computer. http://www.grpbenefits.net/travelpage.htm
If
you are not in the Missouri or Illinois area and
need information on health insurance be sure to
check out the new map of unrelated Hamlin
Companies. http://www.grpbenefits.net/HamlinMap.htm
Until
next time, have a save holiday season.
