Minstrel: Aids for the Hearing Impaired When the new sound system was installed at the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, it included a special addition designed to improve conditions for the hearing impaired. It consists of a short range radio transmitter in the sound cabinet that broadcasts the signal sent to the speakers in the room, and a number of small battery-powered receivers that may be borrowed by members of the audience. Audience members can bring headphones or ear buds that plug into the receivers. Or, if they are wearing hearing aids so-equipped, they can slip a loop antenna attached to the receivers that can transmit the signal directly to their hearing aids. Those receivers may be borrowed by our patrons for all Minstrel and Special Concerts except Open Stages (which are not held in the room with the new sound system). A Tax Deduction for FP Members If you volunteer at Folk Project events, there is a tax deduction you may be able to use to your advantage. The IRS permits a tax deduction of 14 cents per mile for use of your personal vehicle in service of a charitable organization. The Folk Project, as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, quali- fies as such an organization. So you can take that deduction for miles driven to FP events at which you volunteer. Keep a log of the miles you drive for such events over the course of the year, and you can use that deduction on next year's taxes. (Note: the 14 cents per mile figure is applicable to 2016 taxes; that rate may or may not change this year.) No April Fools' Article This Year Over many years, it has been the tradition of this newsletter to include a spoof article in the April edition to try to convince the unwary reader of some improbable change in the world of folk music. Unfortunately, it has become harder each successive year to think of new ways to fool our discerning readership. Last year we succeeded rather well, resulting in upset letters being sent to the FP board about our organization's name change. This year we know that everyone will have their guard up against being caught again by such a ruse, so it is with regret that we've decided the time has come to abandon this quaint if enjoyable tradition. And don't bother looking through the newsletter to see if there are any funny Calendar entries, Venue entries, Goods of the Order, or suchlike. We doubt you'll find any of them. Maybe next year.
