February-March 2020

NO TAX ASSISTANCE THIS YEAR . . . As many of you are already aware, free income tax preparation services will not be offered this year in Caldwell County. AARP TaxAide relies on volunteers to work the site and were unable to recruit enough volunteers. This service has helped many people in the past, and we would like to see it provided next year. They need volunteers interested in making a commitment to go to training and prepare taxes. If you are interested in volunteering to give back to the community, please contact Glenda Pierce at 336-466-3184.

There is a telephone scam going on at this time where the caller is taking a survey and identifying themselves

as the senior center. We will NOT call you to do surveys. The Caldwell Senior Center will also NEVER ask for Medicare information over the phone . We have been told that when the scammers call, the phone number shows up as “senior center”. Our incoming calls will say “senior center,” and will be one of the following numbers—758-2883, 758-2566 or 757-8635. The bottom line is to NEVER give out personal information over the phone including social security number, birth date or Medicare number. If you have questions or con-cerns, please call us at 758-2883.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP—Feb. 20th & Mar. 19th, 5:00-6:30pm (Please note the time change to 5:00 PM.) The Caregiver Support Group is a support system of people who understand. You may share information & coping strategies, talk about feelings & concerns and learn about community resources. Dinner is provided by Hickory Falls Health & Rehab. Please register by calling (828) 758-2883.
