ALR class,

Not that we have finished some basic review material, we are ready for

the nitty-gritty.

After discussing the wiki with Jewel Makda, Barbara Ginzburg will go

over some tax research. She intends to add materials and links on

http://washalr.pbwiki.com/Tax-Research . You are welcomed to do

likewise.

Next week, we will learn about non-profits. Think about non-profits you

are interested in learning about.

Thank you,
