Valentine’s Day is when we take the time to tell special people that we love them. Make handmade, heartfelt Valentine's cards using construction paper, stickers, markers and crayons. Try adding glitter and lace for extra pizzazz. If your Valentine has been extra nice this year, bake a batch of heart-shaped cookies to deliver with your card. Note: Kids of all ages love making creative homemade cards. Just make sure little ones use kid-friendly scissors and glue sticks instead of hot glue guns.
The days when you had to go to the library or post office to retrieve tax forms are long gone. With a few clicks on your home computer, you can download and print everything you need to prepare and file your taxes. Even better, you can instantly file your taxes online. Either way, limit the stress of this annual chore by organizing your documents and making a plan.
Did you know that there are nearly 900,000 unemployed veterans in the United States. The latest Department of Labor unemployment report shows that in October 2011, the average unemployment rate among all veterans was 7.7% and 12.1% for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. With close to 40,000 troops expected to return from Iraq by the end of 2011 and the recent passing of the VOW to Hire Heroes Act (a bipartisan-supported national law incentivizing businesses to hire military veterans) Sears Holdings is calling on all companies to do their part on an issue where the retail giant leads by example.
Did you know that:
At Sears Holdings, we currently employ over 30,000 U.S veterans, more than 1,500 active soldiers and thousands of military spouses.
The company recently committed to increasing hiring veterans by 10% over the next year and has been living up to its word. Since August alone we have hired more than 900 veterans– nearly twice as many as we hired in all of last year.
Sears Holdings has one of the most generous standards for military pay. For any Sears employee who serves in the military, we maintain their civilian pay and benefits throughout their call of duty. Reservists who are full-time Sears employees are allowed to continue participating in life insurance, medical and dental programs.
