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 />

For more information about volunteering, go to<br />
