 Well, here are at 4th of July weekend. I was just saying to my neighbor this morning while walking PJ and Luna that we went straight from Easter Sunday to July 4th weekend. Where does the time go?

Well hopefully you are enjoying this weekend with your family and friends. A cookout maybe, a walk on the boardwalk or a day at the beach. Enjoy it, summer is finally here!!!

For my savvy shoppers out there or anyone looking for a deal on dining and other local places, here is a link to score some nice deals for things ranging from dinner to a car wash.

Welcome to both summer and my first newsletter. Well, we are through Memorial Day and into summer. Hopefully you have had a chance to get out and make it to the boardwalk for that first sausage sandwich of the summer (yum). Warmer weather is upon us and now it is time for cookouts, BBQ's and get togethers with family and friends....hooray summer!!!!

Most of your doctors have already told you to keep active, keep moving and keep healthy. To help you with that goal, I have attached this article with some handy tips on health, fitness and nutrition. Personally I am a big fan of this concept. I have always tried to stay active be it doing Ironman triathlons, training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or a round of golf with friends....keeping active has been a consistent part of my life.

Welcome To The Next Generation Robert W Kulessa Agency Blog

 And so it begins, a new way for me to communicate with and assist the valued clients of the Robert W Kulessa Agency.

My goal is to update this site at least weekly with timely information to help make yours and your families Medicare experience that much easier and pleasant.

I have also added new links on the sidebar to provide dental benefit information as well as a link to NJ's PAAD program as a lot of my clients have inquired about this helpful program.
