Mark Loren Designs hosted the monthly Chamber of Commerce Women In Business meeting. The theme was Safety / Security in honor of June being National Safety Month. Cameron spoke about the importance of having jewelry properly appraised and insured. It is vital, especially in times like these when crime is high, that your jewelry has a current appraisal and is covered on your home owners insurance. Most insurance companies request an updated appraisal every 3-5 years. We also had a guest speaker from Crime Prevention Consultants who provided us with some very useful tips and information on keeping ourselves and homes safe from burglary. We unveiled the new design for the Apex Award pin/pendant – which is given to the winner of the Apex Award for her professional excellence, community service and her active role in assisting others in attaining professional goals and leadership skills. We designed the pin using our CAD program and are donating the piece to express our appreciation for the remarkable achievements of the winner.
