Dear Friends,
The end of January approaches. How are you coming along with your New Year's resolutions? If you haven't started, don't worry! It's never too late. NDI has a few ideas for ways you can create Real Economic Impact for yourself and for Americans with disabilities in 2011. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Set a monthly savings goal. We talk the talk here at NDI and we are going to walk the walk in 2011 (more details to come). Challenge your friends, family and co-workers to set savings goals and share your progress. Don't have a savings account? Start one! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Connect with the REI Tour coalition lead in your city to become more involved.
Volunteer your time to help at a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site or outreach to low-income taxpayers with disabilities to educate them about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spread the word about free tax prep! 
NDI's Real Economic Impact Tour is proud to partner with the Walmart Foundation, One Economy Corporation and United Way Worldwide for MyFreeTaxes.com. MyFreeTaxes.com services are free for everyone who earns less than $57,000 per year. NDI and all the MyFreeTaxes partners are committed to online and on-the-ground free tax filing and preparation for low- and moderate- income individuals.
