| 319 |  We have
used Doodle.com
the last few years to communicate our availability to work specific days and tasks at
Hungry. Some have had difficulties with Doodle so I have
written an online program that will make clearer the
tasks needed for a particular menu - it is different for pancake day compared
to deli sandwich day.To schedule yourself, please:
1) Go to http://bhumc.com/hungry
2) The first time using
this new system please use the bottom part
of the screen labeled "First Time
Here".
- Here you can
establish yourself with your email address and password - the key
for when you return later.
3) All future times
coming back you can use the email and password you selected
above. You
can review, modify, and add to your schedule at any
time. Shortly there will be reports available that will
show the others
already coming and when so you can encourage others to
fill in where we are short.

| 296 | INCOME
TAX HELP:
NO FEE NO AGE RESTRICTIONS NO INCOME LIMITS AARP is once again
sponsoring TaxAide, a free income tax preparation and e-filing service
at most senior centers. See the attachment or the flier on
the Church bulletin board for locations. The tax preparation
and e-filing are performed by volunteer, trained, and certified tax
counselors. There are no age or income limits, but there is
an emphasis on the elderly and the lower income. Most filers
will qualify, except those with overly complex returns (see the out-of-scope attachment).
Birmingham, Royal Oak, Berkley, Clawson, Ferndale, Troy, Bloomfield Township, Madison Heights, and Southfield Senior Centers are participating, as well as Baldwin Library. Most taxpayers with only wage, pension, social security, investment, IRA, and annuity income will qualify, as well as many with capital gains, rental, and some business income. Unemployment, Energy Credits, Child Tax Credits, Making Work Pay, Earned Income Credit, Foreign Tax Credit, and others can be handled. Complex tax returns involving sales of property inherited in 2010, or those involving property depreciation will be referred to a paid preparer. Due to late Congressional tax legislation, the IRS may not be able to accomodate e-file taxpayers with itemized deductions until March. Contact Joe Kenty,
248-626-3140 for more information.

Tuesday, April 5th at 7:00 p.m. Janet Macunovich will host "A
Primer:
Planning and Planting Q/A" which will be geared for the beginning
gardener with questions such as when do I plant? Seeds vs.
transplants? What plants do I plant where? On Tuesday, April 12th at 7:00 p.m. Janet will lead "The Garden is Planted; Ongoing Care and Troubleshooting Q/A" which will focus more on the experienced gardener interested in learning organic strategies in managing their garden during the growing season. Both workshops will be held in the basement of the Beverly Hills United Methodist Church, but Janet likes to work in the soil so be prepared to step out into the garden during both workshops. | 2011-04-12 19:00:00 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
