n behalf of the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce—thank you to everyone who

returned a ballot or voted on line at the Port Orchard Independent website (hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of you!), for the Best of SK 2011; Congratulations to everyone who was nominated (over 700 businesses/individuals); everyone who won --nearly 150 businesses and individuals; and to our co-sponsor of the South Kitsap—Port Orchard Independent.

In many categories there were a lot of businesses who received LOTS of votes—but we have to keep our awards to just the top three! And though we would love to have every kind of business category that exists in South Kitsap represented on the ballot, we have just 50 different categories represented to keep our ballot manageable. Whether the business you own, work for or like to do business with won an award or not know

Many investors won’t put all their retirement savings at a single broker because they believe it’s far too risky. Actually,there may be more risk in having multiple accounts. Without asingle focus, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments andto see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multipleaccounts usually means multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that.Plus, one statement makes it easier to see if you’re moving towardyour goals.

*Diversification does not guarantee a profit, nor does it protect against loss.

To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts to Edward Jones makes sense, call your local financial advisor today.

HAVING MORE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

IS NOT THE SAMEAS HAVING MORE MONEY.
