The nearest locations will be the Lindale Public Library and Wesley United Methodist Church of Sulphur Springs. For more information, call the regional AARP Tax Aide office at 903-581-1809 .
March is National Dummies Month to mark the publication of those bright yellow and black “For Dummies: A Reference for the Rest of Us!” guides intended to simplify various subjects.
