Taxes

You might be surprised to know that the last day to file taxes in 2011, for the 2010 tax year, is April 18th, 2011. It’s been pushed back a few days this year because of the way the weekend falls and because of Emancipation Day, a holiday celebrated by Washington D.C., which is the 16th.  Emancipation Day is on a Saturday this year and will have to be recognized on Friday, the 15th. Since the IRS is in D.C. that means federal taxes aren’t due for individuals until April 18th.

April 22nd is Earth Day.Earth day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the earth’s natural environment. Here is a list of books that focus on the topic of  “Keeping it Green and Celebrating Earth Day”. Check out the following link.
