Internet Awareness! Webshots.com
Webshots.com, yet another popular social networking venue, allows anyone to post
and share photos, videos, and slideshows, as well as posting messages. Camps
should increase their awareness of Web sites such as these and understand the
risks posed by the new Internet age. As a measure of partnering with parents,
keep your camper parents and campers aware of your social networking policies.

Congressional Extension of Sales Tax Deduction Includes Boats
Camps with aquatic and boating programs may be interested in a recent release
from the Boat Owners Association of the United States. According to the release,
tax filers who made a large purchase in 2006, such as a boat, may deduct state
and local sales taxes paid if the tax rate applied to the boat was the same as
the state's general sales tax.
A notice on the IRS
Web site outlines the so-called "extender
provisions" and gives a February
3, 2007, deadline for returns with these
deductions.
