The Bridgton Lake Region Rotary Club is hosting the first in a series of programs featuring local businesses. Our November 8th meeting kicked us off to a great start... Have you ever wondered what happens in the beautiful NAHGA building in downtown Bridgton? Marney Chalmers joined us and gave a really wonderful presentation of how this business in small-town Bridgton is making a big impact in the lives of their clients. Out-of-this-world claims processing by down-to-earth people: at NAHGA, Stellar Service is no accident! NAHGA is a Third Party Administrator (TPA) that is nationally recognized for processing claims with a personal touch. While they value technology, they know that automation cannot take the place of a friendly voice and a personal connection with your adjuster. Others may say they care about every client, but at NAHGA, they demonstrate that with personal attention and timely, accurate service on every claim. Earning Clients' NAHGA is a family-owned company with offices in Bridgton, ME and North Conway, NH. Since their founding in 1991, they've grown to more than forty employees, and process claims for ten of the premier writers of health and accident insurance for students, sports leagues, day cares and many other organizations. They can customize a claims adjudication program for any organization, large or small, including high-deductible and self-funded plans. BRIDGTON, MAINE LOCATION P. (207) 647-3108 | F.

Here is a letter from Amy Saunders at Songo Locks expressing her appreciation. “Songo Locks can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity to the children and families at the holiday time. The families were grateful for the thoughtfulness and usefulness of items. It is people like you and your organization that make this community great. Please send out sincerest appreciation to all your volunteers and club members. Cheers to a New year!”  Pictured making deliveries (left to right) are George Klauber, Dave Barker, Amy Saunders and Joe Barth. |
