During Stepping Up Week, September 13–19, KSKJ Life members, lodge groups, families, friends and Home Office staff laced up their shoes, grabbed their Stepping Up shirts and got moving in support of American Rivers.
We loved seeing participants make the event their own—from group walks with fellow lodge members to walks with family and friends. The smiles and snapshots shared throughout the week show what Stepping Up is all about: getting active, spending time together and giving back to a great cause.
Thanks to everyone who registered and participated, KSKJ Life will donate $450 to American Rivers to help support their work protecting and restoring our nation’s rivers and preserving clean water for future generations.
A special thank you to our lodges that gathered members together for group walks—and enjoyed a well-deserved treat afterward! It was wonderful to see Stepping Up bring people together in communities near and far.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Stepping Up 2026 a success. We hope you enjoyed getting outside, wearing your Stepping Up shirt and knowing that your participation helped make a difference.
A Better You. A Better Community. A Better Future.
CD Coming Due? Compare Before You Renew.
When a bank CD reaches maturity, it's easy to simply roll the money into another CD. But before you automatically renew, take a moment to compare your options. A fixed annuity* may offer another way to put money you don't need right away to work.
CD or Fixed Annuity? Ask Yourself:
☐ What's the rate? Compare your CD renewal rate with other guaranteed-rate options available to you.
☐ How long can I leave the money untouched? KSKJ Life offers fixed annuity terms from 2 to 10 years, giving you flexibility to choose a timeframe that fits your plans.
☐ Will I need access to the money?
Both CDs and fixed annuities can have penalties or charges for early withdrawals, so understand your options before committing.
☐ What about taxes? CD interest is generally taxable as it's earned, while interest in a fixed annuity grows tax-deferred until withdrawn.
Before You Automatically Renew...
A CD maturity is a natural opportunity to look at your rate, timeline and retirement goals—and see what other options may be available.
Have a CD coming due? Let us know when, and a KSKJ Life representative can help you explore options.
