Hi everyone,
Due to the winter weather expected this week — and the likelihood of icy conditions during our return travel — we are canceling the December 10th outing at The Durham Scrap Exchange. Your safety always comes first, and we appreciate your understanding. We will reschedule for a future date.
Looking ahead, we still have a wonderful event planned:
⭐ January 10th Outing – Chinese Lantern Festival (Cary)
We’ll be attending the Twilight Tickets session at the NC Chinese Lantern Festival.
Please purchase your tickets early — this time slot always sells out.
🔗 Important: Be sure to buy your tickets only from the official Koka Booth Amphitheatre website. Koka Booth Amphitheatre Official Site
We hope to see everyone there for a bright and beautiful evening!
Stay warm and stay safe,
Triangle Insurance Professionals

Last night, on Veterans Day, our members gathered for dinner and fellowship as we completed our community service project. Together, we signed and prepared Christmas cards for veterans, sharing messages of appreciation, encouragement, and gratitude for their service.
This small gesture is our way of saying thank you to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. ❤️💙

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Don McDuffie, the husband of Debbie McDuffie, has passed away.

What you missed this month? Air plant gardens! We learned all about care and got to set up our own. Loved snazzing up my desk with live plants.
We will be planning this year's activities soon. Let us know what you are interested in doing - also, next year's annual convention will be in VIRGINIA!

Remember, if you plan to attend - you'll need to register with the venue!

Our visit to the NC Museum of Art included learning about Michael Richards - a Jamaican American who died in his studio on 9/11. The story of how this piece came to the museum after the artist's studio was destroyed (his studio was on the 92nd floor of tower one) is fascinating stuff.
