$52,212 in refunds!

For the Tax Clinic at OCS on January 29th, OBB tax counselors returned 

$52,512 in refunds to Lorain County residents

5 hard-working counselors assisted 20 people. 16 returns were prepared, and only 3 returns owed taxes.  The net profit to Lorain County is $51,292.

Thank you, thank you, thank you:

Beth and Bev for writing and signing off on all the VISTA paperwork
Claudine for giving the program such a brilliant beginning and returning today to serve as a tax counselor
Linda and Kathy for letting Oberlin Community Services be a part of this
Greer and Sam for the OBB technical, factual, and emotional support
Kevin and Megan for making their WT project to hang posters everywhere, research poverty, and educate their fellow citizens about taxes
Rachel for continuing her OBB journey after her private reading
Sheila for calling to volunteer when she saw the press release (and spending 38 minutes on hold to the IRS...)
Mary Anne for sharing her list of PR contacts with me
