YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER,

Fund records indicate that many participants still have not:

  1. Secured their account at Empower. Nor,
  2. Established an account with Included Health.

Because of that, there may be some coal in some people’s stockings on Christmas morning. One thing is for sure, these individuals will not be eligible to win a YETI Cooler this season.

Yes, you read that correctly. A YETI Cooler!

Now, we recognize that these people may not need a cooler or even want a cooler. You may not as well. That’s legit. However, we know you wouldn’t mind being the one who gave a YETI Cooler as a Christmas gift!

Consider this. A “top-notch” gift like a YETI Cooler will not only ensure that you obtain favorite relative status this holiday season, but it practically warrants you immortality. You see, a YETI Cooler is essentially indestructible and as such, it can be passed down from one family member to another long after you are gone. So, not only will you be fondly remembered during each usage, but the lore of your largess will be told for generations.

Conversely, you can always just put aside both the YETI Cooler becoming a family heirloom, and the prospect of being remembered fondly, and perhaps, better than you deserve to be, and just keep it for yourself. It’s your call and we pass no judgement.

“Do Ya Feel Lucky? Well, Do Ya?” You should. You know why? Because we are reminding you yet again not only of the opportunity to get your affairs in order by taking care of both these things, but of your chance to win a YETI Cooler if you do.

By the way, when we write yet again, for many of you, this is the third notice in less than thirty days that you have received on this very matter. And you wonder why you are on Santa’s naughty list? Geez!

So, you require more incentive than doing good for yourself, your family and a chance to win a YETI Cooler. Ok, got it. How about the chance to win two (2) YETI coolers? That’s right. Two (2).

Let us do the math for you. By doing good for yourself, and your family, which by the way, should be reward enough, and by finally “getting it into gear” and taking care of both these things your odds of becoming a winner just increased by 100%. BAM! Just like that.

Plus, (+) you don’t have to place either of these items on your New Years resolution list. That’s correct, by taking care of this today – like right now – you will lay down a solid foundation to which to launch into your “2025 – Year of Destiny” or whatever motivating phrase you have elected to call calendar year 2025.

The “Proviso” - The Fund is not suggesting that taking these steps today will elevate you from the kids table this Holiday season. But we will guarantee it will help you get recognized as someone who has taken on traits typically associated with someone deserving to be at the big table! If nothing else, it will make you a more interesting conversationalist, and if already at the big table, it will have you feeling like less of a fraud.

In any case, these are two things that you can do today – like right this very moment – to join the ranks of the engaged and informed.

Lastly, whether you win one or both of the YETI coolers, or not, taking the steps needed to provide you the possibility of winning may very well change how you view yourself and what you are capable of. Heck, your self-esteem may hit heights previously unbeknownst to you. We can assure you that if experienced, that both of those things are quite normal and are a byproduct of succeeding. Just know that it may take some time for you, or for that matter, others, to get used to the new accountable and responsible you. So be kind to yourself and the others. After all this is new territory for everyone.

Who is Eligible to Win?

Only those individuals who have set up their account at Included Health and have logged into their account at Empower and have done so no later than Wednesday, December 11th, 2024.

When Will the Winner be Determined?

At the December 16th, 2024, membership meeting!

Do You Have to be Present at the Membership Meeting to Win?

You are already on the naughty list for missing so many of those membership meetings, so what do you think?

Nevertheless, I am already on record for saying that you do not have to be present to win one YETI Cooler and I a man of my word. So as of this writing, you don’t have to be present to win one of them. That is not to say it will not be two, but it is not even Thanksgiving yet as I write this, and……, well, ask me after December 11th if you need to be present or not to win the second cooler.

With that said, I can tell you this, you will have to be present at that membership meeting to win the other sweet “swag” and “merch” that will be raffled off that evening.
