Donny Everhart from Dixon Financial & Insurance Services was our speaker this week. He started out with an introduction about the DNA and its purpose. He then went on to explain about the many different types of insurance products offered from his company. Since his company is an independent insurance broker, he is able to present quotes from many insurance companies. This allows him to provide multiple quotes from different companies. He also provided many examples of the importance of having enough coverage for different policies. Questions were asked and answered.
Another reminder about next weeks meeting being at the Firehouse Bistro with Suzanne Lorente from FreeLife as our speaker.

Mark Heckey announced that the city of Dixon was hosting a booth at the Solano County Fair in Vallejo in June and was looking for volunteers to run the booth and promote their business.

Our scheduled speaker Jill Orr was unable to attend, so Debra Dingman gave an excellent presentation about the DDBA (Downtown Dixon Business Association) fund raising events including the Grillin’ & Chillin’ Rib & Chili Cook-Off which is an all day, old fashioned street fair in Downtown Dixon on Saturday, July 31, 2010. She also mentioned the other events that the DDBA sponsors throughout the year as a way to bring awareness of the group activities and raise the necessary funds to keep the organization in operation.
Several leads were exchanged and discussion was made about the importance of this lead referral program as a core of our DNA group activities.
A quick announcement reminding everyone that the next meeting was at Accardi’s on First Street and Debra Dingman was our scheduled speaker. Since Debra spoke this week, she elected Jill Orr to speak next week and our meeting was adjourned.

Welcome to the DNA website. We are very excited to share our group to other businesses in Dixon, CA and our goal is to build each other business. We offer great opportunities for business networking and it great to meet and grow friendships within the business community.
It’s has been nice to see our membership grow from nine members to over 20 members in the last few months. We are now in the process of creating a brochure introducing our benefits to other businesses and creating informational fliers for each business to hand out to every one of their clients. Thus spreading the word about our group and further getting the word out to our prospective clients.
Great opportunities are being developed and we are on our way to building more benefits by being involved.
