Tax rebates for volunteering?

S.A.V.E. (Support American Volunteer Efforts) currently has a bill before Congress that if passed would grant up to $2,000 in a tax rebate to people who volunteer for nonprofit organizations.

The only way to pass this bill is to let Congress know that Americans support it!

Go to the S.A.V.E. website ( http://www.saveusa.info/) and vote for the S.A.V.E. bill! You could win a case of Annie's Macaroni and Cheese and also help make the S.A.V.E. bill a reality.

The Comedy World According to Tom

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tom Myers. I am a stand-up comedian, based in Baltimore, MD. However, I have done shows outside of the Baltimore area. Most of these shows have been in the DC-Metro area, such as the District, College Park (in Maryland), Arlington and Alexandria (in Virginia). The furthest I have ever traveled to a show is Richmond, Virginia. I hope to travel to other regions of the U.S. and eventually, travel around the world doing comedy. I consider performing more than a hobby and I feel I take it more seriously than other comedians that I've seen in my five years doing comedy.

The sole purpose of this blog, "The Comedy World According to Tom," is to give my readers a perspective on the world of comedy. As I have only performed in Maryland, DC, and Virginia, I will focus on those comedy scenes and my observations about what goes on and how such events affect the comedy scene in general. All I am doing in these posts is expressing my opinion. These posts are not always meant to be taken literally and I do joke a bit when writing them. Of course, feedback (good and bad) is always appreciated. I will read each of your messages and take them into consideration when writing my entries.

I write this blog more for the benefit of the readers than for my own personal gain, but I will say that it is an honor to be selected to write for Omaemoda Productions. I hope to submit many entries for as long as I am capable of sitting at a keyboard and typing, which should be for many years.

Until the next post,
~TOM
