Connecticut's 2022 Sales Tax Free Week is August 21 through August 27. This is a great opportunity to take the kids back-to-school shopping or to treat yourself or your loved ones while saving.

If you or someone you know needs assistance to apply for the Child Tax Credit, I will be joining Thames Valley Council for Community Action (TCCCA) TOMORROW - Thursday, July 28 at 6pm - at the New London Public Library - Community Room.

Please join me and the Thomas Valley Council for Community Action, next Monday, July 18 at 5:30pm at the New London Public Library Community Room if you need help signing up for the $250 Child Tax Credit.
