No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions,... and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves. - Amelia Earhart #RandomActsofKindness

INCOME TAX PREPARATION We have had several phone calls from the County Superintendent for the AARP Tax Advisors regarding Income Tax preparation which normally begins in early February. As of now, they do not have a Coordinator for the Oxford and West Grove sites where they’ve previously prepared taxes. As they search for someone to accept that responsibility, we must warn you that if they do not find someone, they might not be preparing taxes this year.... Just in case they don’t find someone, we suggest you begin looking for some individual tax preparer, or some tax preparation business to complete your 2020 income tax forms. We will certainly be glad to assist you to complete your 2020 Rent/Rebate Tax Forms, but unfortunately, income tax preparation might not be available this year. Please start planning in case it’s not. We will develop a list of local Tax Preparation individuals and companies to help you. But please realize you will probably have to pay for their services! We hope to know more by mid-January.
