News & Views: The Road

Newsletter – Tuesday, March 4, 2014

I come from a long line of road warriors – the kind who travel on wheels. My travel passion is to jump on my motorcycle or in my car and see what is ‘out there’. I’m not on someone else’s schedule so it doesn’t matter if I’m delayed, I get to pick my own seat and the people who will sit next to me, and I love not knowing where I am going because any road will take me there.

This weekend Sam and I headed west to Colorado to get in some skiing. After our flight landed we had a 4-hour road trip through the San Juan National Forest. Who would have thought that rocks could be so beautiful? Whether I am in the Smoky Mountains, the Adirondacks, or the Jersey shore, getting out from behind my desk and into the wide open spaces brings me back to a place of balance and peace. You don’t have to be an outdoorsy type person to appreciate the openness and natural beauty of this country.

I always say how lucky I am to live in Western PA – with its changing seasons, rolling hills, and amazing vistas year round. Not far from us, nestled in the Laurel Highlands is Saint Vincent College, home of the Steelers training camp and the Saint Vincent Challenge Program. This challenge program is a summer camp experience designed for academically motivated students entering grades 5-9. Several years ago the Tuscano Agency established the Chris Coates Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship covers the full tuition for a worthy student interested in attending this weeklong program. If you have a family member or know of a student who would love the opportunity to attend Challenge Camp, please be sure to point them to the Challenge Program website to complete a Scholarship application.

Since we are talking about summer programs, I may as well pitch a few insurance related ones that Tuscano can help you with! Summer brings with it events and festivals and we can help you with both the big and the small ones. We can do anything from a neighborhood block party that includes the Host Liquor Liability to a community music festival that draws thousands of people.

As the weather changes, your customers will be thinking about hitting the road themselves on their motorcycles or in their collector cars. Tuscano Agency loves to write your motorsport business. We have the markets and the tools for making this business easy to write and the people who are committed to providing insurance solutions for your customer.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
-Traditional Gaelic blessing
