The 2016 tax season is drawing to a close. There is still time however, and limited space available for a free consult with a certified AARP tax aide. Tax payers of any age and modest income are welcome, bring your 2015 state and federal documentation, a copy of your 2014 return and we’ll file them for free. Appointments are required and may be made by calling the COA at 458.8250.

The North Adams Housing Authority will be opening its section 8 Waiting List on Tuesday March 16-one day only-applications will be taken between 8:00 and 4:00. Individuals interested in subsidized housing can find information regarding this process at the NAHA website at Northadamsha.com

Drummer Richard Meyer and his trio will be at the Harper Center on the afternoon of March 18th-they’ll play at 1:00, all welcome.

The Caregiver Support group facilitated by Judy Bombardier will meet at 2:30 on the 16th.

The Grief Support group led by Corrine Case meets on Thursday the 17th at 9:30 at the Harper Center. All welcome, contact the COA for information at 458.8250.

Finally, we’d like to thank all the folks who donated gently used coats to the drive during December and January. We collected over 100 coats this year for distribution across North County. As a result of your generosity, there are a lot of people out there with added armor against future cold weather. Thank you so much for your support!
