Central Insurance retirees and guests met on February 25, for their monthly get together at Pizza Hut in Van Wert. The group enjoyed a relaxed lunch filled with conversation, life updates and a shared meal from the buffet and favorite menu selections. Those in attendance were (below, front row, left to right): Paula Giessler Scott, Ruth Ricker, Dorothy Helmke, Sue Karst, and Linda Holden. Back row (left to right): Dewaine Johnson, Phil Steinen, Chuck White, Doug Watson and Loren Shindeldecker.

The upbeat gathering set an encouraging tone for the months ahead, with plenty of stories, laughter, and fellowship. As a special highlight, Chuck White offered a brief presentation on Turo, the fast-growing car-sharing platform often described as an “Airbnb for cars.” Several retirees stayed afterward to enjoy a few friendly games of cards.
