A strong surplus position is essential to provide resources for the growth of our insurance and fraternal activities. Investment safety is one of our primary goals. The Society's Y2K project was a success as we entered the new millennium without a disruption in operations. A great deal of credit is due Catholic Family's computer and administrative staff. Catholic Family expects the growth we've experienced over the past few years to continue.
Profitable growth is certainly one of our greatest challenges.
We will continue our efforts to recruit and train a highly dedicated sales force to meet your financial planning needs. To be successful, we must also strengthen our relationship with you, our member, by providing the products and service you desire. We not only want you to remain a member of Catholic Family, but hope you look to us first for your future needs. Our home office staff and sales agents are excited about the many opportunities presented by the new millennium, and look forward to serving you and your family.
