OSA Launching and Appreciation Day
The Oysters Sand Arbor (OSA) public Launch & Appreciation Day was a delightful event on Aug 19/Sat, where we embarked on a captivating river cruise along the Potomac River. It was an incredible opportunity to showcase our nation’s most iconic landmarks and introduce the Arbor concept. This wonderful initiative, brought to you by Gleaner Life Insurance Society, supports communities through service clubs all across the country. OSA proudly stands as the first Samaritan-inspired service club in the Commonwealth of Virginia, thanks to the dedication of Patrick Anderson, Gleaner’s Agent-In-Charge for the State of Virginia.
We were thrilled to have a diverse group of participants join us, including 32 adults and 6 children. Among them were owners of Gleaner Strategic Index Annuities, as well as prospective members and volunteers. Together, we share a common enthusiasm and commitment to make a difference.
We invite everyone to join our cause, supporting OSA and embracing the remarkable opportunities it offers to achieve your individual financial goals. Whether you’re saving for business ventures, safeguarding mortgages, securing life insurance, building college funds, or planning for retirement income, OSA is here to guide and empower you.
Our cruise not only treated our guests to delicious food and scenic vistas, but it also provided a unique occasion to forge new friendships and gain invaluable insights as part of the Gleaner Family.
