Dear Friend,

As we look toward the start of a new year, we would like to sincerely thank all those who have helped make 2006 a banner one for the firm. Our customers, our employees, and our carrier partners form a truly unique family that has enabled us to become the leading privately held commercial insurance and risk management firm in the region. The result this year has been elevation of our locally based company to the national award winner in its industry, recognized as the Commercial Insurance Agency of the Year by National Underwriter.

We are confident that, working together, we will continue to create growth and success in our businesses by striving for innovation and excellence every day. Our goal is to deepen our already strong roots in the Southern California community; to strengthen current relationships and cultivate new bonds by offering custom tailored resources to each of our customers.

You can anticipate great things in 2007 from Barney & Barney as we close in on our 100th anniversary in 2008!

Best wishes for a fulfilling and prosperous New Year.

Sincerely,

Travis Trask
Principal
Barney & Barney, LLC
