THE RETURN OF OUR STOREFRONTS?
Pre-COVID, CTA operated from several storefront locations throughout the city. These community donated venues allowed us to provide face to face tax preparation. It helped us meet our clientele and the storefront setting provided immediate feedback to our volunteers. With the cloud of this pandemic being lifted for the moment, CTA has heard from our storefront partners about returning to their locations.
As of the date of this newsletter, we have tentative commitments from five separate locations: three located in Manhattan and one each in Brooklyn and Queens. As we get closer to the starting date of the season a clearer picture of these storefront locations and a schedule will be available. As of now CTA respectfully asks you keep an open mind and consider volunteering your time at one of these locations. Remote preparation (Virtual tax preparation) will be available too. More information about these storefronts will be given in the next issue of this newsletter. Thank you.
CTA CALENDAR – NEXT BOARD MEETING
The next meeting of the CTA board is scheduled for Monday, December 12, 2022, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. The meeting will be held remotely with participants accessing a call-in code.
