The Breakwater Buzz May 2021 Issue 5 The P rettiest Name All the months have pretty names, But I like the name of May the best. It makes me think of meadow lands In all their spring gowns neatly dressed. Their bonnets are of marigolds, By: For buttons they use daisy eyes, And for a sash they use a brook Lenore Bluer even than Maytime skies, The word October calls to mind Hetrick Maple leaves a fiery red. December makes you think of snow, And woolly blankets on your head. But May! That sweet name makes me think Of music on a springtime night! I think it is the prettiest of all, Just made of blossoms pink and white.

Kenny’s corner How Seniors Can Avoid Tax Scams Tax Identity Fraud Identity fraud can occur when someone uses your personal information, such as your name, address, and social security number, without your permission to commit fraud. In the case of tax fraud, a thief will use your identity to file a fraudulent tax return to claim a refund. Below are a few ways to protect yourself. Protect Sensitive Information: The best advice to avoid this scam to protect your personal information, account numbers, social security number, credit card information, and other identifying personal information. Shred your sensitive documents. File your taxes early: Beat them to the punch with your paperwork submitted to the IRS as early as possible. If you file your taxes with the IRS before a thief, you are less vulnerable to a false tax return being filed. Contact the IRS: If you believe that you are at risk of identity theft , contact the IRS immediately so that they can secure your tax account. Phone & Email Scams The IRS is Calling You: A phone call from the IRS should be the first and most important sign that this is a tax scam. IRS representatives do not call if you owe money or if they owe you a refund, they will first contact you by certified mail with a written notice. And if you have a refund, they will send it to you. An E-Mail from the IRS: Again, these are tax scams. The IRS will contact you by certified mail if there is an issue with your taxes. If you think you have been a victim of a scam, please contact Kenny Penny through the Front Desk.

All the books that have not been returned are somewhere in our apartments. PLEASE check around your book stacks, shelves, or dare I say piles, for one that got lost some how. They are all LARGE PRINT & have a green sticker on the spine of the book. There is NO OVER DUE FEE but totaled up we have $300-$400 in books floating around. There are only a few facilities like ours that have this fantastic resource. Thanks for taking the time to help us out.
