Taxes have been a concern for many Americans for decades now. With rising deficits, debt on the federal, state and municipality level where does that leave the taxpayer? As we head towards retirement most Americans have squirreled away a fair amount of assets “tax-deferred”, what is that asset truly worth? Join Michael Alimo of USA Financial and Tax Services for a virtual workshop on Tuesday, May 18 at 6:00 PM. At this educational workshop you will learn how taxes can change the outcome of your retirement. Discussion will include current tax law, potential changes to tax law and strategies to get to as close to “tax-free” in retirement as you can. Samples of retirement analysis and strategies to transition to a more favored tax position with your savings and “tax-free” legacy concepts to consider.

TEENS! Join a monthly book group that celebrates diversity through great literature! Created for readers in grades 8-12, the group will meet monthly via Zoom. The next book in the discussion series is Genesis Begins Again by Alicia D. Williams. Genesis Begins Again is a Newbery and Kirkus Prize honor winner, a William C. Morris Award finalist, and the winner of the Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award for New Talent.
There are ninety-six reasons why thirteen-year-old Genesis dislikes herself. She knows the exact number because she keeps a list:
-Because her family is always being put out of their house.
-Because her dad has a gambling problem. And maybe a drinking problem too.
-Because Genesis knows this is all her fault.
-Because she wasn’t born looking like Mama.
-Because she is too black.
Genesis is determined to fix her family, and she’s willing to try anything to do so…even if it means harming herself in the process. But when Genesis starts to find a thing or two she actually likes about herself, she discovers that changing her own attitude is the first step in helping change others.
There are a limited amount of FREE copies of the book; register and recieve yours! A Zoom link will be emailed to you prior to the first meeting.
