Clark County Fire Department Receives Grant from Cherry Insurance and MAX Insurance

Last spring’s wildfires took a toll on Clark County Fire Department’s equipment.  With a tight budget, replacing the equipment would be difficult.

That’s why Cheri Martin of the Cherry Insurance, Inc. in Montezuma requested a grant from MutualAid eXchange (“MAX”), one of its insurance providers. MAX and its Mutual Aid Ministries program, along with Martin, have donated $2,500 to help cover some of these unanticipated expenses.

“In a small community like ours, we all have to pull together,” Martin said.  “Our firefighters were out there on the front lines protecting lives and property.  The least we could do is help them replace the equipment they need to protect us.  We are very grateful to MAX for their support in helping provide equipment that will help them do their job.”

“We are pleased to support the Cherry Insurance, Inc. and the Clark County Fire Department,” said David Wine, President and CEO of MAX Insurance.  “We applaud the firefighters for their spirit and courage.”

MAX Insurance is a fair, faithful and socially responsible provider of home, auto, business and related insurance serving people of all faith backgrounds.  The company’s Mutual Aid Ministries program offers Community Grants to its network of independent agencies to support worthwhile programs.

MAX Mindfulness: Take a “Mind Break”

by Dave Wine, President & CEO

Here’s an idea for this week.  We all know how often and necessary it is to check our email regularly in today’s digital world.  Each time you reach to click on your email think “mind break” first.  Just take a moment before you read those emails (with all the accompanying work, emotions, fatigue that can happen while reading and responding to them).  Take a moment to perhaps look out the window, focus on something on your desk, close your eyes if you prefer, and just take 2-3 deep breaths.  Then when you have relaxed and let go for a bit you can read and respond.

I literally put a sticky note on my screen this morning reminding me to do that.  I can’t help but see the reminder so I have no excuses if I refuse to take the time to re-center and refocus myself.  Studies show our stress levels decline immensely with just a few additional breaths each day.  So, go ahead and take a “mind break”!
