On Wednesday (Dec 11), at noon, those interested in becoming VITA Volunteers can attend an informational session on the program at the United Way office, located at 2340 Lamar Avenue.
The VITA program stands for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, which offers free tax help to people who generally make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their tax returns. IRS-certified VITA Volunteers provide free essential income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals.
All VITA volunteers receive free online training to provide free tax help for low-to-moderate income families who need assistance preparing their tax returns. As a volunteer, you will join the thousands of others who each year make millions of tax returns at thousands of tax sites nationwide.
The VITA site will be open on Mondays and Fridays in February and March from 9:00 am -2:00 pm, and on a limited number of Saturdays. Volunteers have flexible hours and may choose their schedules on those days.
The United Way of Lamar County is committed to improving the income and financial stability of our community. It has been a registered VITA site for nearly a decade, providing free tax filing, which enables individuals to avoid costly fees, collect earned income tax credit, and receive their full return.
For more information, attend the information session on Wednesday (Dec 11), or call 903-784-6642.

Paris Community Theatre invites you to come home for Christmas as they present ‘Christmas at the Plaza,’ a musical revue – Friday through Sunday (Dec 13-15) at the Plaza Theatre.
“We tried to blend unforgettable classics with a few non-traditional songs that we feel deserve a little more Christmas love,” says director Catie Maxwell. “We’ve created a fun, evocative blend that will include something for everyone. We all have that one song that helps us find our Christmas spirit amid the craziness.”
The cast includes PCT regulars Terry Bull, Amy Braswell Burrows, Jeff Cochran, Riley Collard, Ken Dickinson, Michelle Hobbs, Shannon Jones, Merrol Ray, Celia Stogner, and Sarah Stogner-Dickinson. Eric Kaufman, former host of The Big Show on KOYN 93.9, will serve as the show’s host and emcee.
The revue will include favorites such as “The Christmas Song” and “Home for the Holidays,” along with lesser-known tunes like “The Christmas Waltz” and “Song for a Winter’s Night.”
“We also include some unique stories,” Maxwell says, “and a few touches of comedy. It’s a busy time of year, and we all need a moment to breathe and enjoy it. We have a wonderful cast, and we hope audience members will leave feeling a bit brighter and more joyous than they were when they came in. That’s our goal.”
Liberty National Bank and Mallory, McNeal & Company, PC are sponsors of Christmas at the Plaza. Showtimes are 7:30 on Friday and Saturday (Dec 13-14) with a 2:30 show on Sunday (Dec 15). For tickets or more information, please visit PCTonStage.com.
