Kathy’s Connection~
I am so excited to finally see some nice weather headed our way. Also, I am happy to see
familiar faces back from their winter havens and back to wonderful Michigan.
I hope everyone is enjoying the new Wednesday Exercise Class & the Strengthening & Toning
Class on Friday. Give us your feedback; we would like to know if you are happy.
McLaren Health Care came on Monday, March 16th and held the Pelvic Floor; An Owner’s
Manual. Lisa the instructor said if there is any other classes that anyone would be interested in
to let our front office know and she would see if she could accommodate us. Please share your
ideas & thoughts with us.
We need someone to volunteer their time to maintain the flower beds around the flag pole. If
interested please let us know.
Please don’t forget that April means there are seats that have came available on the Advisory
Board because some of the director’s term limits are up. If you are interested in running for a
seat please advise Joie. Joie will fill you in on the particulars. You can also talk to any of the
people who currently seat in that capacity.
On Saturday, May 9th the Senior Center is happy to announce that we will be having a
fundraiser here at the Center. It will be a Line Dance Workshop & Dance. They will donate part
of their profit to the senior center. If you are interested in the Workshop stop by the front office
and get an application because space is limited. Dance Instructors will be Tina Foster from
Ohio, Jason Miller & Derek Steele of Michigan. All level dancers are welcome!
Remember we will be closed on Good Friday, April 3rd.
I want to wish everyone a HAPPY EASTER!

Information
Tips to Avoid IRS Scams This Tax Season
IRS will never contact you through e-mail or with a
phone call. Calls or e-mails claiming to be the IRS
and requesting personal information are fraudulent.
“Con artists take advantage of tax season at the
expense of Michigan taxpayers” If you get a call
you should report it to the IRS!
Beware of These Common IRS
Phone & E-mails Scams
1. Back Taxes or Penalty Phone Call—these high
pressure calls threaten legal action that can only
be avoided by immediate payment. Payment
must be made by difficult-to-trace Green Dot or
similar money transfer methods.
2. Rebate Phone Call—aimed at seniors, the caller
identifies himself as an IRS employee and tells
the targeted victim that he or she is eligible for a
sizable rebate for filing taxes early. The fake
IRS employee requests bank account information
for direct deposit of the rebate.
3. Paper Check Phone Call—a fake IRS
employee indicates the IRS sent a check that has
not been cashed and the IRS needs to verify the
individual’s bank account number. The only
way the IRS collects bank account t details is if
consumers choose to put them on their tax
return.
4. Refund E-mail—falsely claims to come from
the IRS and information the recipient to click on
a link to access a refund claim form that requires
personal identifying information. The Crooks
try to make this look legitimate by using a
specific refund sum that sounds convincing.
5. Audit E-mail—informs the recipient that his or
her tax return will be audited. The e-mail may
include a greeting in the body addressed to the
specific recipient by name.
6. Tax Law Changes E-mail—invites the recipient
to download information on tax law changes.
Clicking on the link downloads malicious
software also known as malware.
7. Cash Reward for Completing Online
Customer Satisfaction Survey—purports to pay
taxpayers for completing an online survey that,
of course, includes questions asking for personal
identifying information.
NEVER GIVE ANY PERSONAL
INFORMATION OUT OVER THE PHONE...
