Pennsylvania senior residents, have you applied for your property tax or rent rebate? Pennsylvania has a rebate program for seniors who own their property or rent an apartment. In 2024, the tax or rent rebate will be at a historic high: the maximum rebate is $1,000, and the income cap for residents eligible for the rebate has been increased to $45,000 per year. Applicants generally must be 65 years of age or older (there are other groups of people who are also eligible to apply). The deadline to apply is June 30th.
If you happen to be in Philadelphia at the beginning of March, you are in luck, because every year in early March, Philadelphia holds its annual flower show at the downtown Convention Center. The Philadelphia Flower Show is the world's oldest and largest indoor flower show, attracting more than 250,000 visitors each year. It is also described as the oldest, largest, and most prestigious flower celebration in the United States.
This year is the fourth year that my husband and I signed up to be volunteers at the flower show. I feel like a veteran volunteer, and the position is one of the best! (most crowded). In addition to see the beautiful flowers, I got the chance to see people from different ethnic groups, people in all kinds of costumes, and I got the chance to talk to them and help them.
