NEW AARP AGENT IN TOWN

WALLA WALLA - The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., announced this month that it is making its award-winning AARP-branded auto insurance program available through McDonald Zaring Insurance in Walla Walla.

McDonald Zaring Insurance was chosen after satisfying a number of eligibility requirements, which included: demonstrating a commitment to community service; meeting a high-level of business and ethics standards; and completing a training program designed to highlight the needs of the 50+ population.

According to research from The Hartford, the majority of AARP members prefer the advice and counsel of a local agent when making decisions about their insurance.
