AARP TAX AIDE PROGRAM BEGINS
Free tax help will be available every Wednesday afternoon from 12:30 to 4:30 pm
from February 3 through April 14 in the Senior Activies Center, CCAC, 115 S.
White Street in Carrollton.
Several Fairfield volunteers will be available for this AARP sponsored program
which is primarily slanted toward low or middle income older persons. Jean
Morse is coordinator for the Carrollton location and Ken Morse and Holly Klass
are counselors as well as other Carroll County residents. They recently
completed a one-week IRS certified training program in Bremen to learn about
available tax provisions that can be used so that tax liabilities are kept as
low as possible.
Participants should bring copies of their 1991 state and federal tax returns
and all records affecting their 1992 tax liability. Both state and federal
returns will be prepared.
Jean would also be interested in persons who would like to volunteer for next
year.

Watercolor Lessons
Saturday, December 29, 2001 23:59:18
The Plantation Art Group will sponsor watercolor painting lessons beginning in
October. Jean Grunwald, because of the interest shown by her demonstration at
the March meeting, has agreed to teach this series of eight lessons. The
lessons are planned for Saturdays to accommodate working participants and the
cost will be $16 plus materials, payable in advance.
The group resumes regular meetings on October 12 when Bettee Ferreri will tell
about her June visit to the Annenberg Exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
in New York City. Plans will be made for the upcoming lessons as well.
This group has been formed to gather together an informal community of persons
who are interested in all forms of arts and crafts. It does not require
training or talent, just interest. There are no membership dues. For further
information about the meeting or lessons call Bette Ferreri.......

if things go well and there is an interest future lessons may be held.
In the meantime, regular Art Group meetings will be postponed until the classes
are completed and a date for the meeting will be announced at that time.
