LEARN ABOUT INVESTING AT FREE SEMINAR

Randy Hammon, author of "The Safe Money System," will host a free seminar on investing June 8 at the Ala Moana Hotel.

Hammon, a former professional baseball player and stock broker, says his book offers investors an alternative to the traditional Wall Street approaches that "protect the brokerage houses but actually put people's hard-earned savings at serious risk."

Hammon went to work for a major brokerage firm in Southern California after playing professional baseball for 11 seasons. He was drafted as a pitcher by the Kansas City Royals in 1969 and played for several minor league teams, finishing up his career with the Phoenix Giants of the Pacific Coast League.

The seminar starts at 7 p.m. Call 866-280-7380 to reserve a seat.
