Retiree Connection "Water Smart" Commercials Are Aired

Travel Discounts for Volunteers and Educators!

Have you volunteered for eight hours with a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization? You can get a free or half-off night's stay at one of 53 hotels, which are scattered across 23 U.S. states. In other words: Give a day, get a night.

This promotion, which we just found out about on the Jauntsetter blog, is being offered by Sage Hospitality as a way to support volunteerism. They're only giving out a limited number of completely free hotel stays, but the 50% discounts will run through March 2010, so you have plenty of time to plan your getaway.

Sage also offers a deal for active and retired teachers and school administrators! Educators can get a 50% discount on rooms at all the company's hotels, up until December 30, 2009.

I love the idea behind these promotions. There are already plenty of rewards out there for those who travel frequently or have certain corporate affiliations. Now, people are getting rewarded for choosing to volunteer (anywhere!) or work in schools.

Disneyland and Disney World are planning to get in on the action too, starting in January 2010, when they'll offer free days at its theme parks after completing certain volunteer projects.

It will be donation-only, with proceeds supporting the poverty relief services of the Coalition for Compassion and Justice. The menu: Fresh Salsa and Chips Guacamole Taco bar with all the fixins Tostadas, Burritos Carne Asada Slow-cooked Vegetarian Pinto Beans Spanish Rice Cinnamon chocolate mousse

Catholic Charities Needs Volunteers For Their Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is part of a federal initiative to ensure intended tax credits reach the underserved in our communities; this includes the low-moderate income population, the elderly, disabled, limited English proficient, non-urban and Native American tax-payers.

Under the most recent changes to tax regulations a qualified family with three children is eligible for up to $5,600.00. This is a life changing amount of money for families living at or below the poverty line. Catholic Charities is partnering with NACOG, New Horizons and United Way to bring this free service to the community. This is an organized and well structured volunteer run program. All returns will be prepared and submitted on-line using Tax Wise software.

For those who are interested but don't want to prepare returns the VITA program is also looking for screeners, quality reviewers, greeters, and bilingual assistance. Contact Haley Hyatt @ 708-7279 for more information.

Deni Harris teaches Wise Women's Gathering for Community Education

Never have I heard so much laughter or seen such a full class. OLLI staff member Deni Harris has managed to bring women together to help them discover their gift of feminine wisdom and apply it to navigating their lives in peace. Deni's class starts with the book "Taking The Leap" by Pema Chodron. I don't know what they're doing in there but it sure sounds fun. I think it may be life changing. For further information about the Wise Women's Gathering class contact Heather Hurst in Community Education at 928-717-7638. To read excerpts from "Taking the Leap" click on Deni's (in blue) lovely picture.

Alex's Corner

AmeriCorps VISTA Alex Finnarn says the best thing about being the Technology Director for OLLI at the Prescott campus is the great stories the members share with him. They offer advice and share their own life experience which has added value to some of the decisions Alex has had to make concerning issues within his project. "We're both learning better ways to communicate with each other. The members are starting to embrace some technology and I'm gaining insight from their own life experience." Alex is from the "Buckeye" State of Ohio and apparently it is common practice to wear a red nose when interviewed. It's great having Alex in the Division of Lifelong Learning as a fellow VISTA, co-worker and friend. Nice Alex.
