By Sonny DiSabato, Senior Citizen Coordinator
Hello fellow seniors.
Sponsored by the Pennsauken Education Association, the Senior Citizen Prom will be on Sunday, April 2 from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. at the Pennsauken High School Cafeteria. This great annual event features lunch; great music to dance to, courtesy of High Noone Express; and the Optical Academy will also be on hand from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. to provide eye exams. Immediately after the prom, seniors will be escorted to the auditorium to watch Pennsauken High School’s performance of “The Wedding Singer.” And it’s all FREE to Pennsauken seniors!
Seniors can RSVP for the event by calling the Senior Citizen Coordinator’s office at (856) 665-1000 x125. Please provide your full name, phone number, and number of people in your party.
AARP Tax Help Runs Through April 13
The Pennsauken Free Public Library is once again hosting AARP Tax Help sessions. This free service will be available in the Library’s Community Room, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Tax help will end on April 13. This is first come, first served and priority is given to seniors.
There are some important changes to this year’s process that residents need to be made aware of. New computer software does not allow tax preparers to pull up past returns. Residents taking advantage of this service need to bring last year’s completed return with them. In addition, residents will need to bring a photo ID, their social security card, and the social security information of any dependents.
As this is a different process this year with new software, some issues could occur during tax preparation. Folks should expect some delays as tax preparers and residents get used to the new system. With a little bit of patience and understanding, things should work out just fine.
Wishing you good health and happiness. Please say special prayers for Fr. Robert Sinatra, the brother of All Around Pennsauken’s editor, who is recuperating from heart surgery; and for our men and women in the Armed Forces.
