Business Scene for the week of 11/14/18
GOING AWAY RECEPTION FOR MARA
After nearly eight years as a commercial insurance agent with Flanigan-Leavitt Insurance Agency, Mara Beatty is leaving the agency to spend more time with her husband, Darren, and their young children, Brayden, 8, and 17-month old Rayna. “Mara has played a major part in our effort to grow and service our clients. She will be sorely missed by our agency’s family,” commented Mike Flanigan, adding, “We’re committed to making sure the many business owners and other entities that she has helped over the years with their insurance needs will continue to receive that same level of service and commitment. We invite you to drop by the Quincy office between 2 and 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov, 15, to wish her well while enjoying some snacks and refreshments on us.”

The other option they refer to as Square Installment Loans. It can be used on repair bills totaling $249 or with a three, six or 12-month repayment plan.
