Happy and Healthy New Year to Tilden members and all our friends!
The Annual Meeting and Election will be held the evening of Thursday, January 23 at Seafarer’s Institute. Additional information to follow.
Julie Menin, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs, has asked for help in spreading the word about an upcoming Phone-A-Thon on Saturday January 31 to help New Yorkers learn about tax breaks that they may be missing. These credits range from $2,000 to $10,000 in tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Care Tax Credit. About 25% of eligible working families fail to claim their money – money families need to help pay for daily necessities – because many people don’t know about these programs.
Tilden members are being asked to volunteer for two-hour shifts (11 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.). Locations vary throughout the City.
