Volunteers needed
The dog days of summer are here and memories and evidence of last winter’s ice storm are no longer as prominent.
Next year’s tax season seems a long way off, but planning has begun for the AARP Tax-Aide volunteer counselors.
The recent Supreme Court decision keeps the Affordable Healthcare Act in place and therefore, there could be tax consequences for some of our residents for the 2015 tax year. Tax-Aide services are not limited to seniors; we work with all individuals and families.
On-line self-study modules are also available from November through April. New volunteers have experienced counselors as training partners and begin their tax preparation work doing basic returns. You will never have to work alone – as part of the program, every tax return is quality reviewed before it is printed for the client.
If you would like to be involved, but aren’t sure if you want to prepare returns, volunteers are also needed to help with greeting clients and organizing the paperwork. For more information about the program or to become part of the team that provides this valuable service, call Ginny at 456-4212.
Free Classes offered
Classes are being offered for family and friends of individuals with a major mental illness on eight consecutive Wednesday evenings, 6 to 8:30 P.M. beginning on September 16, and ending on November 4.
