PFD pumps $2.1 Billion into the Alaskan Economy…and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
September 20th brought record lines of people to the banks, car dealerships, in restaurants, and for many Alaskans, had them sighing with relief. With record inflation, high gas prices, concerns over super- high grocery costs, the stock market tanking, and the damage from Cyclone Murbok hitting the Western Alaskan coast this past weekend, Alaskans everywhere are preparing for a very costly winter. The PFD was made up of two components this year; $2622 was from the PFD fund payout, with the Alaskan lawmakers adding an additional one-time payment of $662 to offset high energy costs. From Fortune, Alaska Dividend up over $3000 per person
It’s about to get…Personal.
For the first time in many years coming in the fourth quarter of 2022, our Personal Lines is getting some love! First, we are THRILLED to announce we are launching a new Personal Lines product to TIC next week at the AIIAB Convention.
In November, our popular Dwelling and Personal Lines product will be getting changes and some new upgrades. We will be hosting some in-person and virtual training classes for both options in the near future. Stay tuned as we Get Personal in the next few weeks!
Devastation in Western Alaskan
Our hearts and prayers go out to our friends and neighbors who got rocked in Western Alaska this week by a horrific storm that crushed the Western coast of Alaska. If it weren’t for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, the storms in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Japan, along with the sinking Dow Jones, it would have been the top news story. Alaska Airlines has already donated $25K and the use of their planes. Ravn Airlines is teaming up with the Alaska Native Heritage Center to bring donations to the affected villages and towns. If you are in Anchorage and can donate items, or want to donate money to help the recovery effort, the Alaska Native Heritage Center is a donation spot and is collecting the following:
Communities affected are asking for the following:
Kids clothing
Adult clothing
Winter gear: gloves, hats, scarves, etc
Boots
Jackets
Canned goods
Link to donate online: Alaska ACF Western AK Disaster Recovery Fund
Please consider donating and helping your fellow Alaskans in need today.
Reading Rewards are either a $10 Starbucks card or a $10 donation to the charity of your choice!
Jackie recognized her risk last week! If you see your risk below, you can choose to send a $10 to the donation of your choice or receive a gift card to Starbucks. To claim your Reading Reward, email: akorver@ticak.com
Yeti Hunting Might Be Alaskan’s Newest Pastime
The greatest accidental marketing trend that ever happened took place this summer, and Alaskans all over coastal areas reaped the rewards! Earlier this year, a cargo ship filled with Yeti coolers spilled out into the Pacific Northwest and washed 109 coolers out into the sea. And they have found their way onto the beaches throughout Alaska. Remarkably, they were found in perfect shape and just waiting for the right beachcomber to come along and claim them!
