Video Game Night - concept we are working on

I found these guys in Saline who have the experience putting on multi-player video game events for charity.

They are already involved in an activity to support overseas troops.  I have contacted them and will see what we could possibly get involved in or how they could help us as far as putting on a monthly video game night.

Incentives to Hire Unemployed Veterans

The Stimulus Bill contains language that will enhance the applicability of Incentives to Hire Unemployed Veterans.

Here is the current applicable forms:  http://www.doleta.gov/business/Incentives/opptax/PDF/WOTC%20f8850RevJune2007.pdf
http://www.doleta.gov/business/Incentives/opptax/PDF/ETA_Form_9061_ICF_6_F7-07.pdf

I will follow this and get you the form that will be published that includes the new language.

Here is the current benefit - read - if a Veteran is hired and works 2000 hours at $10.00 an hour the employer should receive  tax credit in the amount of $8,000.00

MINIMUN EMPLOYMENT OR RETENTION PERIOD. All new adult employees must work a minimum of 120 or 400 hours.  The WOTC amount an employer may claim depends on the hours the employee works. The credit is 25% of qualified first-year wages for those employed at least 120 hours but fewer than 400 hours and 40% for those employed 400 hours or more.

 I need feedback on this.  I will get a hold of Weaver at Michworks for a definitive explanation.
