You could spend two, or even three, decades in retirement. So, to pay for all those years, you’ll probably need to take full advantage of your retirement accounts. And in 2022, you may have expanded opportunities to deduct retirement plan contributions on your tax return.
Before looking at what’s changed this year, let’s review the key benefits of these accounts:
Southgate Lanes, 9700 Dixie Hwy., celebrated a "closing" weekend on April 29 and 30 with a Bluffton Family Recreation cornhole tournament, live music by Next to Nothing and a karaoke competition. That is to say, the bowling alley will be closed until June 7.
The inaugural Bluffton’s Got Talent competition crowned Kyle Roby as champion on May 30. Roby made it through all three rounds, performing "classic jingle from the Backstreet Boys" in the finals.
On Saturday, May 7, Greenhorn was scheduled to host a party on Vine Street. The restaurant now notes, "We will still have Saturday drink specials and fun foods inside out of the weather!"
The restaurant is located at 112 Vine Street and serves "internationally inspired plant-based food that is made from scratch using seasonal, organic, and locally sourced ingredients."
The event was to coincide with Bluffton University graduation, which takes place at 10:00 a.m. at the Sommer Center.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted recently announced the approval of assistance for five projects set to create and retain jobs statewide.
April is Community Banking Month and on Friday, April 29, Citizens National Bank will be highlighting local businesses with its annual gift basket giveaway and Community Shred Day. Refreshments will be served at each branch, including the 102 S. Main, Bluffton location.
Each CNB office is giving away a gift basket including local items from each of our branch communities. Anyone who visits a branch during the month of April may enter to win the Community gift baskets valued at more than $150 each.
Area high school students participating in the First National Bank of Pandora's Junior Board of Directors program recenty made a trip exploring both corporate and state government locations.
The junior board is made up of 25 juniors from Bluffton, Findlay, Liberty-Benton, Ottawa-Glandorf, and Pandora-Gilboa High Schools. The students meet monthly at the bank’s headquarters in Pandora where they learn about forming a corporation, business accounting, business operations, marketing and business forecasting.
