The President has signed a comprehensive budget bill that includes adoption of the IRA charitable rollover. Provisions for the IRA charitable rollover option are comparable to past law but have now been adopted without an expiration date.

Learn more about the IRA charitable rollover at York College's website.

The IRA Charitable Rollover can be a useful giving tool. Since first passed in 2006, thousands have used it to reduce their tax burden and simplify their giving. Please share this information with loved ones or friends who may benefit from this giving option.

More than 300 area youngsters attended the annual York College geography fair on Friday, filling the Mackey Center with laughter and learning as they “toured” 10 countries. The event is the final project of the cultural geography class hosted by Christi Lones, assistant professor of history.

College students spend weeks preparing for the event, researching the language, food, clothing, music and traditions of the countries they chose. It is a great exercise in research, teamwork and presentation, as they demonstrate their knowledge and collaborative work by sharing with visiting children, said Lones.
