F.A. Peabody executive director Chris Anderson and his wife, Liz, attended a three-day conference sponsored by Concord Insurance Company at the Samoset in Rockport. Concord holds the conference every three years to recognize top agents. This year, they had a special twist to the event. All three days, special events and trivia games were played to earn “coins.” The coins could then be used to place bids on items which are pre-designated for charity or non-profit organizations in the agent’s local area in a silent auction format.  FAPCO earned enough points to win a bid on sporting equipment designated toward the Houlton Recreation Department.  The items estimated value is around $250 to $300.
