Hi neighbors, I’m doing some decluttering and I have a gently used diaper bag, bumbo seat, and exersaucer. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll leave them out front for you to pick up. Thanks!

seeking volunteer tax preparers
by Megan Rose 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Dear neighbors, United Way need your help to recruit 104 more volunteer tax preparers for the 2018 tax season *by January 7!* Volunteers provide an invaluable service that helps households get the tax returns they’ve earned, so that they can keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. Here’s how you can help United Way’s Free Tax Prep Campaign meet the needs of 10,000+ working families in Southwestern Pennsylvania who use the service each year: 1. Make tax time easier for low-income families in our community by volunteering as a tax preparer during the tax season. Training is provided to volunteers to prepare them to help hard-working households receive the maximum refund possible. No prior experience necessary. *Learn more or sign up at **swpafreetaxes.org* <http://bit.ly/2ko8dSs>*.* 2. Do you have friends who might be interested in volunteering? Forward this email and encourage them to get involved. Also, remember to invite your friends that are Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), attorneys, or enrolled agents because they can receive credit for serving with this program. 3. Post this story on your social media accounts <http://bit.ly/2nzqQUW>, asking your network to take action to help people like Sara, a woman whose tax refunds allowed her to keep a roof over her family’s heads last year. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a real difference this tax season. Sincerely, Megan Rose 916 Wellesley

Cleaning person
by Joy 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

I’m looking again for a cleaning person. Ideally they should swifter under beds and capture all dust bunnies, not some; wash grease off teakettle if there’s grease on it; look at baseboards to see if dusty; etc., not need lots of reminders and requests. Our person is so nice, but it’s not working out so well. -- OneLarge.org

Re: Christmas Tree Recycling - Girl Scouts - All slots filled!
by GS Troop 52470 03 Jan '18

Dear Neighbors, I just want to let anyone else who's thinking about a Christmas Tree pickup know that we officially are full. If you have emailed me, please hold tight, and there will be an additional email coming letting you know that I received your message and that you are on our list. And then on Friday there will be a final email with approximate time slots for when to expect us on Saturday. These emails will be coming to bcc'd lists of neighbors, so there is a possibility that this message may go to your spam folder, so please check there or add this email to a safe list to get through the filter. Many, many thanks to the enthusiastic response!

Hi neighbors! I'm fairly certain our mail has been lost, misplaced, or been banished to the horrific land of the USPS never to return. If any mail for 745 N. Beatty shows up at any of your wonderful houses could you be so kind as to shoot me an email? Thanks!
