"Grand Opening" Thursday for Insurance Office

Lisa Martinengo of the El Cerrito Chamber of Commerce introduces the new Farmers Insurance agent in town, Song Nguyen, and reports that the public is invited to Thursday's "Grand Opening" of Song's office on San Pablo Avenue.

The El Cerrito Chamber is very pleased to welcome member Song Nguyen, the new Farmers Insurance Agent in our city. The office is located at 11457 San Pablo Ave. and will offer insurance and financial solutions.

Uprooted from Vietnam at a young age, Song endured difficult circumstances that have shaped her into a determined, compassionate and optimistic person. She graduated from UC Davis in 1992 with a major in Mathematics. A highlight of her college years was an eight-month study abroad period in Monterrey, Mexico.  She learned basic Spanish, which helps to serve a wider customer base. After a stint teaching at Silicon Valley College in Fremont, Song realized her passions were in helping people more directly and she went into the insurance field, working at Fireman’s Fund for nine years.

Song joined Farmers in 2007 and has continued to expand her insurance and financial services and products. She has won several awards in her long insurance career. Song is a resident of San Pablo and enjoys hiking, painting, learning new languages and traveling.  With a broad knowledge of real estate, mortgage, and insurance, Song is able to educate and serve her clients to help them get proper coverage to protect their family and assets, and also to provide them peace of mind.  Song is fluent in English and Vietnamese and basic Spanish. 

The public is cordially invited on Thursday, Sept. 27, for the Grand Opening event with official ribbon cutting by Mayor Bill Jones and celebration party.

Was that what i heard in the middle of the night on Wednesday? I thought i was dreaming. It soundedRead More like some sort of loudspeaker.

Gee...are you SURE that alarm IS coming from Portola Middle School? Um...I suppose that you ARERead More sure! Yes...it IS turbo-annoying but I had assumed that it was some stupid car alarm.

Good thought, Julian.

I've spoken with him, he is educated, intelligent and articulate. He is also angry and sometimesRead More irrational. I dont know his story but his "street art" stands on its own legs. If you would like to help him, and yourself, buy and enjoy his art.

A neighbor of mine on Colusa tried to give him food when he was on Colusa, but he refused, so IRead More never tried. Dorothy, is that the shelter near the Berkeley Historical Society/Veteran's Building? Perhaps he would need a ride to it. Perhaps he's concerned about leaving his things there if he can't be there during the day. I'm afraid I don't know enough about it.

I did mention that I'm donating 10% of my royalties for "Midnight" to the EC's Open SpaceRead More fund, didn't I? I'm a Down-home Ten Percenter.

Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

What a great idea for pocket parks!!! I am all for them. Instead of spening a big amount on oneRead More (which we don't have space anyway), I would like to see many mini parks of $20,000 along the Bart tracks. With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park. Really mini pocket parks just needs some play structures, benches and tables there.
