PA Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program
The deadline to apply for Pennsylvania's recently expanded property tax/rent rebate program has been extended from June 30 to December 31, 2007. The rebate program was dramatically expanded this year and the extension gives extra time to those people who may be applying for the rebate for the first time. The program benefits eligible PA residents 65 and older; widows/widowers 50 and older; and people with disabilities 18 and older. The income limit has been increased from $15,000 to $35,000 for homeowners, and the maximum rebate for homeowners and renters has been increased from $500 to $650. Applicants can exclude as income, one-half of Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits.
Claim forms (PA-1000) are available at http://www.revenue.state.pa.us/ or by calling 1-888-222-9190. Also, forms are available at the revenue district offices (listed in the government section of local telephone directories), area agencies on aging, senior centers and state legislators' offices.

36th Anniversary Volunteer Recognition Luncheon
On June 7, 2007, we attended the Volunteer Luncheon at the Doubletree Hotel, Broad & Locust Streets, Philadelphia. We honored volunteers and paid tribute to Joseph M. Torsella, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center (NCC). He received an award for his commitment and dedication to Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and volunteerism in the Greater Philadelphia area.
The food, program, and hospitality were all first-rate.
