*Help the United Palace Replace its Silver Screen *Since returning film to
the Palace last year with screenings of "Dracula," "Casablanca," "It's a
Wonderful Life," and several NYC classics we have learned how much this
town loves going to movies in a magnificent setting. The greatest
compliment we hear from audience members is that watching a movie at the
Palace with a large crowd has the same electricity as seeing live theatre
on Broadway. It has encouraged us to take the next step in the ongoing
process of improving the theatre so that it lives up to what amNY newspaper
called *"The Best Way To See Movies The Way They Used To Be." *The first
thing we need to do is replace the over 50-year-old screen. The decades-old
layers of dust, holes and scratches severely detract from the audience's
enjoyment of the movies. After cleaning it last year we realized that it is
beyond repair. We need your help to raise $20,000 to install a new screen
before April 27th when we show the original *"King Kong." *Among the great
perks you can receive for your contribution are: free tickets; a movie pass
through the end of 2015; reserved seats; private screenings. To contribute
or learn more about the campaign please visit:
http://igg.me/at/upca-screen/x/1974676. We have been surprised by how
popular our screenings have become and want to continue to give our
audiences the finest cinematic experiences that we can. Thank you for
helping out by contributing or spreading the word about the campaign. Hope
to see you back at the Palace soon.

power to change lives. Students who study music in school have higher
grades, self-esteem and are more likely to graduate. NYC public radio (WQXR

Holland's Opus Foundation to collect gently used instruments, which they
will repair and give to NYC public schools. So far more than 1000

the need to Protect the Palisades <http://www.protectthepalisades.org/> and
have LG Electronics modify their building design so that a National Natural
and Historic Landmark is not severely compromised. According to these local

*Share the Road with School Buses *In the NYPD's our quest for Vision Zero,
the 34th Precinct will participate in Operation Safe Stop through April 3rd.
The focus will be on vehicular traffic near schools and around school
buses. Operation Safe Stop will involve an educational period which will
include handing out flyers that explain the New York State law when driving
near school buses and shares tips for sharing the road with school buses.
Help keep our children safe.  New York State transports 2.3 million
children with more than 50,000 school buses to school every year. School
buses are most likely to be on the road during a three hour window in the
morning and a three hour window in the afternoon, the timing of which is
consistent from day-to-day. School buses are noted for typically traveling
at lower rates of speed and making frequent stops. When a school bus is
preparing to stop, the driver will activate the yellow flashing lights at
approximately 300 feet before the stop. At the stop the vehicle will be put
into neutral or park with the parking brake set to open the door and
activate the red flashing lights with the stop arm/stop sign being extended
and flashing. *New York State law requires motorists to stop for school
buses that are receiving or discharging passengers. *A vehicle *must
stop*when encountering a school bus in the process of loading or
unloading
students on a public highway; on multiple lane roads; on opposite sides of
divided highways; on a public street; on a private road; in a parking lot;
and on school property. The driver of the vehicle must stop from either
direction.  The driver must also stop if the school bus has another bus in
front of it to receive or discharge passengers. Keep in mind that violation
o f these rules of the road also carry stiff fines: $250-$400, 5 points and
up to 30 days imprisonment for a first offense, up to $750-$1k, 5 points
and up to 180 days imprisonment for a third offense within three years.



*Safeguard your Auto *Vehicles are stolen for parts, insurance fraud,
retagging, exporting, and joy-riding. To help prevent the theft and damage
to your vehicle, the NYPD suggests the following: always lock your vehicle;
always activate your alarm every time you leave your vehicle; NEVER leave
your keys unattended in the ignition, even if it's for a short time; do not
leave your property (GPS, cell phone, iPad, laptop, etc.) in public view;
whenever possible, park in high-traffic or well-lit areas; entroll in the
NYPS's anti-theft programs (Operation ID, CAT, CCAT, HEAT) by contacting
your local precinct Community Affairs or Crime Prevention Officers, or
visit www.nyc.gov/nypd. IF YOUR CAR IS STOLEN, report the theft to the
Police by calling 911, and notify your insurance company.



*GreenDot Money Scam *The NYPD Crime Prevention Section has published a
public awareness video on the "GreenDot Money Card" scam that is taking
place citywide. Below is a link to the video, which is available on the
NYPD's YouTube channel: http://youtu.be/Aks5FivTMjM. Take a moment to watch
this video, and share it with your family and friends.  It will provide
crime prevention tips to help you protect yourself and your loved ones from
this scam.

*The* *Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) *is a special federal tax program
that helps low- and moderate-income working individuals and families reduce
their income taxes and put more money in their pockets. The credit reduces
the amount of federal tax owed, and may even result in a refund. If a
qualifying individual or family owes income tax, EITC will reduce the
amount of taxes owed. If your tax credit is more than your tax bill, you
will receive a refund check--even if you don't owe any taxes. Furthermore,
New York State offers its qualifying residents an additional tax credit
equal to 30% of the federal EITC for the previous tax year.



To qualify for EITC, workers can file as "single," "head of household" or
"married filing jointly."

*         If you are a worker with *one qualifying child,* your total
earned income and your federal

·         adjusted income must each be less than *$38,511 (or $43,941 for
married workers).*

*         If you are a worker with *two children, *your total earned income
and your federal adjusted

·         income must each be less than *$43,756 (or $49,186 for married
workers).*

*         If you are a worker with *three or more children,* your total
earned income and your federal adjusted income must each be less than *$46,997
(or $52,427 for married workers).*

*         If you are *a worker without children, *your total earned income
and your federal adjusted

·         gross income must each be less than *$14,590 (or $20,020 for
married workers).*



Workers with qualifying children must file federal income tax return form*
1040* or *1040A *and must complete and attach Schedule EIC. Workers without
qualifying children can file any tax form -- *including form 1040EZ.* These
workers write "EIC" (or the dollar amount of their credit) on the Earned
Income Tax Credit line on the tax form. They do not file Schedule EIC. A
correct name and valid Social Security number must be provided for every
person

listed on the tax return and Schedule EIC, including infants born before
December 31. *If this information is incorrect or missing, the IRS will
delay the refund. *For more information on the federal EITC, call the
24-hour Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Hotline at 1-800-TAX-1040, or visit
