The community brunch will be meeting again on Sunday, April 11 from 10-1, at the AFSC office – just before tax day. Please mark your calendars.
Meanwhile, we are very interested to hear any and all plans you may already have for tax day. This, as always, is a great opportunity to talk to people about where our tax dollars are being spent. (You can just reply to this e-mail.)
The ‘25 percent’ campaign is working on a tax day flier; we hope to get that to you all this week, along with ideas around tax day – and information about what is going on.
