[SchoolFinance] Insurance

[Tina Davidson]

Hi Gabby
RSU 8 has also been using MSMA for a long time and I agree with Sherry
Moody in that one of the biggest reasons we stay with MSMA is because of
the good relationships with their staff and the quality of their service!!
With all the changes that are being made within the business part of the
school, it is nice to be able to pick up the phone, call and get a familiar
voice ready to help.
Good luck with your decision and have a great weekend!
Tina
