Fall is officially here in Centerville and the Dayton area! As the temperatures cool and the leaves begin to change, many of us are spending weekends at fall festivals, enjoying the outdoors, getting our homes ready for colder weather, and preparing for the busy holiday season ahead.

October is also a great time to take a few minutes to review your insurance. A major goal of mine is to help people understand their insurance — what it covers, what it doesn't, and where there may be gaps you weren't aware of. Changes to your home, vehicles, family, income, or other parts of your life can affect your insurance needs, so periodic reviews are important.

Give my Centerville office a call to schedule a no-cost review of your insurance and financial preparations. We can review your current insurance, discuss your risk protection, and talk about your savings and financial goals for the future.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and also brings plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy Centerville, Springboro, Dayton, and the surrounding Miami Valley. Here are a few fun dates coming up:

• October 3 – Centerville Fall Fest – Head to Stubbs Park for a fun day of local vendors, food, kids' activities, live entertainment, and plenty of fall fun right here in Centerville.

• October 10–11 – Ohio Sauerkraut Festival – Make the short trip to historic downtown Waynesville for one of the area's largest fall festivals, featuring hundreds of craft vendors, food, and entertainment.

• October 18 – Springboro Trunk-or-Treat in the Park – North Park in Springboro hosts this family-friendly afternoon of Halloween fun from 3–6 p.m.

• October 22 – Uptown Shop or Treat – Bring the family to Uptown Centerville from 6–8 p.m. as local businesses join in the Halloween fun.

• October 31 – Halloween – Halloween falls on a Saturday this year! Centerville's Trick or Treat is scheduled from 6–8 p.m., so watch out for all of the ghosts, superheroes, princesses, and other characters roaming the neighborhoods.

However you spend October, enjoy the cooler weather and everything our Centerville and Dayton-area communities have to offer. And before the busy holiday season arrives, consider taking a few minutes to make sure your insurance still fits your life today. Give my Centerville office a call and let's review your coverage together.

And don't forget... We're more than just home, auto, and life insurance. I want to help you create a "Lifestyle Plan". What life are you living now? What life do you want to live? How do you enjoy your life while getting from one to the other? Making the right financial decisions, properly managing your risk, and effectively preparing for your future starts with those answers. In a no-cost one-on-one meeting with me, we can create a plan and answer the question, "Are you managing your money in a way that is improving your life?" Contact me today to set up a visit.
