Submitted by admin on Wed, 12/21/2016 - 6:36am

I would not be exaggerating if I said that if I had a dollar for every sugar cookie my mother made in her lifetime I would be rich.  Once in a while she made a few batches of chocolate chip dough, but the safe bet was always the cookie jar would be filled with her wonderful sugar cookies.  She didn’t put lots of icing on them – maybe just a few different colored sprinkles.  I always thought using all that real butter was her secret to success.

Volunteers are needed in Monroe and Brodhead tax sites to assist persons with their tax returns via the VITA and AARP TCE programs. Do you enjoy helping people, working with numbers, have a good eye for detail? It’s helpful if you are comfortable working on a computer, and convenient, but not necessary, if you have tax experience.  Volunteers must attend four (total) days of free program training in December and January.  Computers and software are provided.
