Notes
Save the Date, January 30th-Congregational Meeting…Mark your calendars and plan to join us on Sunday, January 30th as we have our January Congregational meeting at 11:45am. We’ll have an update on 2010 Year End finances, an update on Trinity Horizons, and much much more. Childcare and lunch will be provided. Plan to join us!

Tax Information…A provision in the tax bill recently passed by Congress reinstates the ability of those age 70-1/2 years and older to make distributions of up to $100,000 per tax year from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) directly to a charity of their choice without having to claim it as income. Since the tax bill was passed so late in December, the act allows for a charitable distribution made through January 31, 2011, to be claimed as a 2010 gift.
