How the Tax Credit Works...
Anyone who pays state taxes may be eligible for the tax credit, which helps the children and teens in the Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley's programs and offers a benefit to the donors.
For example:
If you owe $1000 in state income taxes and you donate $400, you may be able to deduct that $400 from your tax bill and pay the state only $600.
If you are owed a refund of $1000, you may be able to add $400 to that and obtain a refund of $1400.

February Meeting
Patricia J. Rullo, Author
Patient advocate and author, Patricia J. Rullo will be our quest speaker for the Tuesday, February 28th meeting. Patricia educates groups, clubs, organizations and businesses about the hazards of hospital stays, how to survive them, the importance of having a health care advocate and she helps build ready-to-take-action support affiliates within existing groups.
A visit to a hospital is inevitable and dangerous. Either you will be the patient, or you will tend to a loved one who requires a hospital stay. This puts your life in jeopardy, thanks to hospital acquired infections, miscommunication, adverse drug reactions, misdiagnosis, and a host of other ominous encounters.
The book, "Speak Up and Stay Alive," a patient advocate hospital survival guide, published by Millennium Star Publishing, with a release date of January 2012 exposes hospital risks and explains how to get out alive.
Patricia authored the book and says "Every year nearly two million hospital-acquired infections claim roughly 100.000lives. One in every twenty patients suffers from an adverse drug reaction. If you find yourself faced with hospital visit, you must be prepared to be your own advocate and try to have an advocate with you at all times."
