From the President
Well…it looks like winter is here – and then gone – but smart money says we’ll see it again soon!
I thank everyone who came out to our January meeting and made it a success. Aside from some
growing pains as your new President, making a few mistakes and generally embarrassing myself
with a microphone, I think it went pretty well.
February’s meeting is right around the corner and I want to invite you all to plan to attend. In
addition to our regular meeting we have two CE courses being presented at the Equestrian Woods
clubhouse beginning at 12:30 and again at 2:30. Please read about these classes in this
newsletter and plan to take advantage of them this month.
This month we also have the opportunity to serve our community in three ways. We are raising
money for The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club through our monthly raffle, we are collecting
canned goods for Lexington Rescue Mission and we are collecting cold weather clothing for the
Catholic Action Center. I hope that everyone reading this will find at least one way (maybe all
three) to help the BGCA continue to support our community.
We hope to announce dates for the Golf Outing and Christmas party soon. We’re working hard to
continue to deliver great events for the BGCA.
Remember to invite friends, co-workers and others in our
industry to join us in February. We would love to see the
BGCA continue to grow and expand.
That’s all I’ve got for this letter. I hope to see you all in
our CE classes and at the February meeting.
(Guys, as a public service, I feel obligated to remind you,
don’t forget Valentine’s day is coming up soon!)
Best wishes to you all,
Bob

Member Spotlight
What position and with what company are you associated?
Helen worked as an adjuster with Kentucky Farm
Bureau for 34 years (she retired in 2000). She spent
some time working as an independent adjuster and
currently works in a marketing role with SafeLight Auto
Glass.
Have you ever served on the BGCA Board and if so, in what
capacity?
Helen has been a member of the BGCA for 27 years. In that time she served in a
number of roles including Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President and served on a num-
ber of committees.
What do you find as the best kept secret of the BGCA?
If you start coming and attending the meetings, don’t miss any! You might get
‘volunteered’ to do something!”
Is there a BGCA Member that has made a positive impression on you?
“Well, I think of this every time I see a new person coming to our meetings. The first
couple times I attended, 27 years ago, Mr. Charlie Locker was such a nice gentleman,
kind, professional person and he always made me feel very welcome and comforta-
ble.”
What would you tell a perspective New Member about the BGCA and the benefits of
membership?
“The benefits are there, you just go for them! Networking is a great benefit.
Education through our speakers that are geared toward our industry, our Continuing
Education classes that we provide…I still get my 24 hours every two years! You
make lifelong friendships and, it’s just unlimited.”
Have you attended a BGCA function that you would like to share a comment, story or
impression about ? (Monthly meetings? CE Class? Golf outing? Christmas Party?)
We’ve had some great events. Our Christmas Parties, our Golf Outings and our
monthly meetings are just great. But when my peers nominated me to represent the
organization at the State level, that was a great time.
Any final comments?
Just everybody invite somebody and get more here!
