Old Colony YMCA Winter Gala - Middleborough 02346

4/25/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Marion / Middleborough understands the importance small businesses play in supporting local community programs. Which is why when Old Colony YMCA hosted a winter gala to raise funds for their facility, SERVPRO was happy to be able to help. Each ticket purchased contributed to supporting and benefiting their Developmental Disabilities program as well as Mentoring and Scholarship Programs. 

While the night included dancing, dinner, cocktails, and a live auction, the true pleasure was being able to give back to a cause that has done so much to support the local Middleborough community. One of the great ways the Old Colony YMCA has helped the community is by offering a safe and welcoming environment for people of all ages to be able to exercise and train for a healthier and stronger Middleborough community. These programs offering kids and adults alike many options to get in shape and promote healthy living. 

SERVPRO of Marion / Middleborough is proud to be able to play a small role in supporting quality community programs in our area.

Happy National Small Business Week! We'd like to take the time today to recognize all of you who've made the courageous decision of following your dreams, and congratulate you on the success of this crazy rewarding journey we call entrepreneurship!

This past April, we celebrated 5 years of serving the community. It's been a wild ride, with up's and down's like any business, but there's nothing we'd rather be doing than lending a helping hand to those who need it most.

Happy Thanksgiving from our SERVPRO Team!!

In this time of gratitude; we at SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro would like to give thanks to all of our loyal customers, reliable vendors and to everyone who helps spread kind words of our company and refer us to their friends, family and customers!

We understand the value of a referral. More importantly, we understand the importance of living up to unspoken expectations set while being referred. It takes great trust in our ability to provide excellent service. A referral is a reflection of the individual or company giving the referral; we do not take that lightly.

Fire, water and biohazard clean-ups, such as hoarding, bodily fluid and infectious disease clean-ups, require a certain compassion and empathy. People ‘grieve’ differently. While some express sadness, others anger, and some shut down completely. Life prepares us to face certain inevitable situations; however, as often as unexpected disasters occur, people tend to not expect it will ever happen to them. We take pride in staffing employees who are understanding of the obscure job responsibility that most onlookers wouldn’t immediately associate with a company like ours. To our staff; thank you.

A referral to us is more than a simple transaction. It is a testament to all that we strive to be. Not only as restoration specialists but as compassionate, problem solvers. We strive to make the customers experience with SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro nothing shy of exceptional.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!! 

MA Insurance Agents CE Courses - Middleboro, MA 02346

11/10/2017 (Permalink)

Below are the Continuing Education Requirements for Massachusetts Insurance Agents. This information is provided by the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents:

“A newly licensed insurance producer must complete 60 hours of continuing education credits prior to their initial license renewal date; otherwise a licensed producer must complete 45 such credit hours during the 36-month period prior to license renewal.

As of 9/17/14, Insurance producers must complete an approved 3 hour ethics program for each renewal cycle. This new requirement does not increase the overall number of CE hours an insurance producer must complete, it only requires that ethics training make up at least 3 hours of the total CE earned.

If you do not comply with the continuing education law, the Division of Insurance may suspend your license pending completion of your CE requirement and/or you may be subject to a civil fine of not less than $20.00 nor more than $100.00 for each hour of instruction you fail to complete.”

At SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro we understand the importance of continuing education; we also understand that costs to maintain credits can add up quickly. We strive to offer our neighboring agents the opportunity to attend one of our complimentary CE courses. It is our goal to provide agents with 2-3 annual courses, helping with costs and ensuring there are local course options, here in the Southcoast. Breakfast & lunch are also provided.

Like us on Facebook to follow our event calendar or call our office directly (508)946-2397 to find out when our next complimentary course is being offered.
