Remember why you are investing

By Brandon Blackford,
Edward Jones financial advisor

These are challenging times.

Like everyone, you are concerned about keeping your family safe and healthy, and you’re doing your part to help protect your community from the effects of the coronavirus.

And if you’re an investor, you must also address your financial situation. How should you respond to the current market volatility and recent declines in investment prices?

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM BLUFFTON PUBLIC LIBRARY

The health and safety of our customers and staff at the Bluffton Public Library is a top priority, therefore the library has made the difficult decision to close from March 17, 2020 through at least April 6.  

We ask that all patrons with library materials currently checked out keep the items at home rather than return them. 

NOTICE FROM POLISHED AND BOUTIQUE 415

Per the Governor, Polished and Boutique 415 will be closed effective at the end of business on March 18.

"Please continue to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for any updates and an occasional video. We hope to be able to open our doors April 1.(no joke)," said  Joan Frederick and her staff.

UPDATE ON TWISTED WHISK

In compliance with Governor DeWine's order, we will not be able to serve any dine-in guests. We can however take carry-out orders.

Please call in all food orders ahead of time, to minimize the amount of time waiting inside the establishment.

We will still have coffee, all specialty drinks, and pastries ready for grab and go.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience and support.

Pete and Kim Suter: "Painful and difficult decision, but confident it is the right decision."

Shannon Theatre has temporarily closed.

Here's the announcement from Pete and Kim Suter, owners:

In light of Gov. DeWine’s decision to close all bars and restaurants yesterday evening, coupled with all athletic events being canceled and other entertainment venues being closed, we have determined that the best move we can make for our community is to close the Shannon Theatre, effective immediately.

This was a painful and difficult decision to make, but we are confident that it is the right decision in an effort to help flatten the curve.
