Expressing gratitude<br />
to local first responders<br />
On Nov. 22, residents from Richmir condos in West Jefferson donated<br />
“Thankful Bags” to the Jefferson Township Fire Department<br />
(top) and the West Jefferson Police Department (bottom). Each<br />
bag was labeled with an officer or firefighter’s name and contained<br />
candies, cookies, chips, nuts, water, and $5 gift cards to<br />
the Daily Buzz. The Daily Buzz also is donating one doughnut to<br />
each officer and firefighter.<br />
Tax-Aide volunteers<br />
The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program is seeking volunteer<br />
tax preparers for next year. Tax-Aide provides free tax preparation,<br />
primarily for senior citizens, at the <strong>Madison</strong> County Emergency<br />
Management Agency in London.<br />
Anyone who does his or her own taxes on a program such as TurboTax<br />
is an ideal candidate for the volunteer opportunity. Volunteers<br />
receive IRS-approved training, use IRS-provided computers<br />
and are mentored throughout the tax season.<br />
Volunteers save often financially pressed senior citizens the cost<br />
of paying a private preparer and provide a calm, reassuring and<br />
steady hand in a sometimes stressful situation.<br />
