Hats off to Dan Schott for his job well done. We had a variety of tasks for him to do that he handled professionally, as well as cleverly. Dan is a credit to the Fix It Guys, a friendly guy and we thank him very much for his help. Bob and Joan Murphy |
Honeywell Retiree’s Club Scholarship ProgramThe Team is looking for your help. Our Team would like to hold a fundraiser to supplement the Honeywell Retirees’ Club Scholarship Fund. We are looking for ideas for a fund raiser that would be fun and something that our membership (and perhaps even active Honeywell employees) would like to be involved in. Like to golf? Interested in attending an auction? If you have an idea, or would like to volunteer to help the Team with a fund raiser, please let one of our Team Members know. Scholarship Committee:

The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program in Arizona will provide free tax preparation services for seniors and low income families again during the 2015 tax-filing season. The foundation has 31 sites in the Phoenix area usually located in Senior Centers or City Community Centers. All sites are staffed with trained, certified volunteers.
Last year, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers in Arizona filed over 95,000 returns saving those taxpayers an estimated $10 million in preparation fees.
The AARP program in partnership with the IRS is currently recruiting volunteers for sites throughout the state. Volunteers do not need previous tax preparation experience as all necessary training is provided. Only two qualifications are needed, a real interest in helping people, and a basic familiarity with Microsoft Windows.
Every year we need new volunteers to continue this valuable service. You can help by volunteering one day each week from February 1st through April 15th at a Phoenix Community/Senior Center near your home. Training is held in early January. Best of all, you are never left alone. Each location has experienced tax preparation volunteers who are always willing and able to help you with specific taxpayer problems.
So if you have the time and energy to give back to the community by providing a valuable service to many people please join us

We would love to have you in the program.
