Show-Me-Heroes Program

Become a hero by hiring a hero!

Just by going to the Show-Me-Heroes website and submitting this simple electronic form your business's name will be prominently displayed along with the names of every other employer who has pledged to consider hiring a Missouri Veteran.

Roth IRA Conversion Lunch

Does a Roth IRA Conversion make sense for you? Previously, many people have not been able to utilize a Roth IRA due to income limitations. But that has now changed. Beginning in 2010 you now have an opportunity to convert an IRA to a Roth IRA regardless of your annual income or tax filing status. We invite you to learn if a Roth IRA Conversion is right for you. Join us for lunch at Ginger Sue's in Liberty, MO from 11:30-1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 26th. Please RSVP to Lindsey Freese at lfreese@wradvisors.com by Tuesday, March 23rd.
