TIAA Seminars Rescheduled

Two TIAA seminars had to be rescheduled because of the recent bad weather. Both are free and will be held at the Texins Activity Center on the Dallas Expressway site.

Tax Preparedness - 1-3:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24 at the Texins Activity Center CR1/CR2. Get up to date on changes affecting the preparation of 2010 tax returns and tips for 2011. Two speakers will be on the program: Rick Griffith, Sr. Tax Consultant, with the IRS and John Harman, a CPA. Seating is limited to 40 attendees. Call the TIAA office at 214-567-8444 to register by Feb.17, leaving names of those attending and a telephone contact number.

Digital Photography II - 1-4 p.m., Friday, March 4 at Texins Activity Center CR1/CR2. A follow-on to last year's popular course which will concentrate on photographic composition - the ability to see as the camera sees because a photograph does not reproduce a scene quite the way a human sees it. Learn to consider things like background, foreground, subject placement, balance, lighting, etc. Bring your camera and manual and get training from retired TI Photographer David Drake on how to take better pictures. David will also answer individual questions about your camera after the class. Seating is limited to 40 attendees, so call the TIAA office to reserve your place by Feb. 25.
