Monday Round-up

VISTA news: Taxes
I spent the end of last week in Columbus with all my fellow Ohio Benefit Bank VISTAs learning the ins and outs of federal taxes and how using the Benefit Bank software is so much easier than doing taxes by hand.   I have now incorporated acronyms like AGI and ETIC into my daily vocabulary.  My current VISTA goals include getting ready for tax season, which involves writing module, winter term, and ExCo syllabi and trying to recruit people for all three. Interested in getting involved with one/two/all of them?  Email me at okeith @ oberlin.edu
