I hope you all have a grand St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. Remember to wear a patch of green to celebrate the Irish!

And, I’m sure you’re excited for the first day of spring on March 19! I know we all are. Crocuses and daffodils are sure to bloom soon!

Tax time is upon us! Time has come to make appointments. If you would like help with your taxes, open season has started with Midcoast Ca$h. We’d be happy to make an appointment for you. Midcoast Ca$h will be holding one more day of free tax preparation, Tuesday, April 2, at the Boothbay Town Office, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Appointments are a must. If you’re interested, we will help you with the sign-up process at The Community Center. Alternately, you can make your own appointment by calling 207-295-6340 or 207-751-3756; or email midcoastcash@uwmcm.org, or visit the following website: www.eznetscheduler.com/calendar/midcoastmaineCASH.
