*1. Clocks Go Forward on March 11*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Remember to set your clocks forward one hour on Sunday, March 11. The starting
and ending dates of Daylight Saving Time (DST) changed this year as a result of
the Energy Policy Act of 2005. DST now begins on the second Sunday in March and
ends on the first Sunday in November. Visit USA.gov [

*2. Women's History Month*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March is Women's History Month. This observance provides a special opportunity
to honor the achievements and contributions of American women in the home, in
law, in medicine, in the arts, and in all walks of life. Visit USA.gov's page
on Women's History Month [

*3. Federal Tax Filing Deadline Is April 17*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Taxpayers have until Tuesday, April 17, 2007 to file their federal returns with
the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Federal tax returns are
typically due on April 15, but in 2007, April 15 falls on a Sunday and April 16
is Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia.

Some printed IRS forms may incorrectly show April 16, 2007 as the deadline for
federal filing--the actual deadline is April 17, 2007. Visit USA.gov's link to
the IRS [
http://origins.usa.gov/external/external.jsp?url=http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/ar
ticle/0,,id=167195,00.html ] for additional information.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
*4. Tax Refund Available on Long Distance Phone Service*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
A one-time telephone tax refund is available on 2006 tax returns. Anyone who
paid tax for long distance or bundled service that was billed between February
28, 2003 and August 1, 2006 is eligible to request the refund. The refund will
range from $30 to $60, depending on the number of exemptions you claim. Visit
USA.gov's link to the IRS [

---------------------
*5. Presidential $1 Coins Now in Circulation*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
The United States Mint is now issuing $1 coins that feature America's
presidents. Each year, the Mint will release four new coins in the order in
which the presidents served. The 2007 coins feature George Washington, John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, with a rendering of the Statue of
Liberty on the reverse side. Visit USA.gov's link to the U.S. Mint [
http://www.usmint.gov/ ] for further details.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
*6. National Kidney Month*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Did you know that diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of
kidney disease? Many people with these conditions aren't aware of their risk.
National Kidney Month (March) is the time to recognize the 20 million Americans
living with chronic kidney disease and to encourage those at risk to get
tested. Visit USA.gov's link to the National Kidney Disease Education Program [
http://origins.usa.gov/external/external.jsp?url=http://www.nkdep.nih.gov/kidne
ymonth/ ] to read about the risk factors and review the steps you can take to
protect your kidneys.
