Administered by a trained and certified veterinarian, acupuncture is one of the safest forms of medical treatment of animals, both large and small.
Laura Surovi, DVM and Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) uses acupuncture for medical and some behavioral disorders. Her workshop will include:

Whether your children are in grade school or high school, they’ll be leaving for college before you know it. And with the cost of a college education rising every year, now is the time to prepare for that day. At Edward Jones, we can help design an education savings strategy to fit your needs.
One option is a 529 college savings plan. It allows anyone, regardless of age or income, to contribute. Earnings accumulate tax free, and in some cases, contribu-tions are eligible for a state tax deduction or credit. As the owner of a 529 plan, you control the funds and can change beneficiaries to another eligible family member at any time. Even better is that withdrawals for many education expenses are free from federal and, in most cases, state income tax.
To learn how a 529 college savings plan can make sense for your children, call or visit today.
The earnings portion of withdrawals used for expenses other than qualified education expenses may be subject to federal and state taxes, plus a 10% penalty. There may be state tax incentives available to in-state residents who invest in their home state’s 529 plan. Student and parental assets and income are considered when applying for financial aid. Generally, a 529 plan is considered an asset of the parent, which may be an advantage over saving in the student’s name. Make sure you discuss the potential financial aid impacts with a financial aid professional. Tax issues for 529 plans can be complex. Please consult your tax advisor about your situation. Edward Jones, its financial advisors and employees cannot provide tax or legal advice.

PEOPLE LEAVE MANAGERS. NOT ORGANIZATIONS.
“The transition from individual contributor to manager represents a
profound psychological adjustment — a transformation — as managers
contend with their new responsibilities. New managers must learn how
to lead others, to win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike the
right balance between delegation and control. It is a transition many
new managers fail to make.”
- Linda Hill, Wallace Brett Donham Professor of Business Administration
Harvard Business School
Make sure your supervisors and managers have the tools to make a
successful transition. My Supervisory Development programs teach
employee engagement and commitment which results in increased
productivity and retention. Each program gives your leaders specific
skill sets to effectively manage your workforce to maximize potential.

their dreams. As a Community Bank, we are easy to work with, have local decision making and we know
our area housing markets.

to shorten the payout term. Whatever the reason, we can help.

Interest rates shown are indicative of market conditions and individual qualifications and will vary based upon your loan type, credit score, purpose and loan to value.
