It has been traditional to change our clocks from Daylight Saving Time back to standard time on the last Sunday in October. However, beginning this year, we now make the time change during the first Sunday in November. In the spring, the time change has moved from the first Sunday in April to the second Sunday in March. For more information on Daylight Saving Time and why we change our clocks, click HERE.

Hi,
I was just informed about your website and when I checked it out I saw that there’s a blurb about our upcoming Tax Clinic Workshop on November 30th. Looks like Dean submitted it — which is great. I have also done a flyer for the event so I’m attaching that in case there’s a way for you to post that.
Thanks for helping us spread the word!
