June 2025 Newsletter
Michael : Did you hear about the kidnapping at the playground?
Amy : Don’t worry, he woke up.
Friends,
Hello again, it’s Michael Antonini. June 1, 2, and 6, 2025 mark my 18th wedding anniversaries to my wife Amy. She is a genius. We just celebrated with a trip to the Almondy Inn in Newport, RI. Turns out the rates are cheaper before Memorial Day.
June is heating up—and with it, summer plans, family time, and a few important Medicare and Social Security updates. This month, we’re highlighting what you should know heading into summer and a few price changes. Let’s keep things smooth and easy.
We also celebrate Father’s Day in June. So happy Father’s Day, happy graduation and happy June birthdays to everyone who falls in these categories.
Kind Regards,
Michael Antonini

Ask An Expert: Travel Tips for the Summer
Not everything in summer is about insurance—sometimes it's just about doing things right. Here are some easy, helpful travel tips for you or your loved ones:
Pack Light, But Smart
Bring layers for changing weather, and always carry essential meds in your carry-on — plus a written list of your prescriptions, just in case.
Download Helpful Apps. Google Maps, weather trackers, and medication reminders go a long way—especially in unfamiliar places.
Hydrate & Snack. Air travel and long drives can sneak up on you—keep a refillable water bottle and healthy snacks handy.
Plan Breaks. If you’re on the road, build in 10- to 15-minute stretch stops. Your body and mind will thank you.
Let Someone Know. Whether you're solo or with a group, share your itinerary with a trusted friend or family member.
