The Faribault Senior Center once again will host trained AARP volunteers in providing free tax help.

Those eligible to use the free tax assistance are taxpayers with middle and low income, with special attention to those age 60 and older. Appointments are required and can be made by calling the Senior Center at 332-7357.  There is a list of information that you need to bring to your appointment, which the receptionist will tell you about when you make your appointment.              

The assistance is provided by AARP volunteers at no charge, but if you choose to make a donation to the Senior Center, please stop by the front desk to do so.

An informal discussion and question session that allows residents to learn more about Faribault's programs and people.

Next Class: ”Living a Life—Preserving a Legacy”

                  Your life story and those of your ancestors shape the lives of your children and succeeding generations.  These moments need to be preserved.  Inspirational and informative, Jeff Baker will provide ways to select, organize and preserve your stories, photos, family history, and heirloom documents.

This seminar presents a visual display with over 90 photographs, models, and illustrations.  It answers 6 baseline questions about assembling one’s legacy and historical information, whether as a scrapbook, a video, or hard-bound book.

About the presenter:  A family man himself, Jeff Baker knows about stories—whether hearing his father describe WWII life or telling of his own personal adventures.  Jeff learned the rich value of legacy and began promoting storytelling during the 1990’s while he and his wife worked in Ethiopia, a culture steeped in family bonds and oral communication.  Now the owner of SĀGIS, he provides various levels of support to help individuals organize and preserve their own precious stories.

Bring your adult children with you to this special presentation and start sharing your family’s stories with each other.
