6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 11, 1992 COMMUNITY ~ Nearly 25 junior and senior accounting majors at College Mis- ericordia are providing a valuable ervice to the community this tax eason. These students are cur- ently participants in the IRS- ponsored VITA (Volunteer Income ‘ax Assistance) Program which ~ began in February and continues through April 13, according to Fred J. Croop, chair of Misericordia's usiness department and coordi- ator of this year's VITA Program It Misericordia. The VITA Program, now in its 2nd year of service nationwide, is designed to provide [ree assistance ~ lothose persons with special needs, ncluding people with disabilities, ow-income families and senior itizens. This program, according tudents will give free tax assistance turns for persons [iling Form 1040EZ, Form 1040A, or a basic 1040 Federal Tax Return. The IRS has provided Misericor- dia with the necessary training materials for the VITA Program. Walk-in hours are provided on the fourth floor of the Administration Building on Mondays from 5 to 7:30 .m. and on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Appoint- ments may be made for other hours by calling 674-6327. Taxpayers who visit the VITA site at Misericordia should bring with them 1991's tax package, wage and earning statements (W- 2's for the year) from all employers, interest and dividend statements to Croop, fits in well with the goals of the accounting program and Misericordia’s mission. “Volunteerism is something expected and emphasized as part of the learning process at Miseri- cordia and this program gives accounting majors the opportu- nity to combine what they learn in the classroom with providing serv- ice to the community,” said Croop. In addition to that combination, Croop is looking at the practical experience these students will receive in preparing returns and working with the public in a real life situation. Croops says Misericordia stu- dents have been trained to handle simple state and federal tax re- and other relevant information. ‘Meadows Apartments celebrates tenth anniversary The Meadows Apartments, located in Dallas, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with a dinner for the residents.
