Go, Woodlawn High!
"The students (at Woodlawn High School) were attentive and many were interested in accounting careers. It was refreshing to see so many young people who were seriously considering majoring in accounting. They had some good questions also, other than how much an accountant makes a year. I think once they watched the video and realized the different career paths in accounting, some who were not sure about accounting changed their minds. Thanks for the opportunity."

The sunny side of the CPA
The door bell rings and a man answers it. Here stands this plain but well-dressed kid, saying, "Trick or treat!" The man asks the kid what he's dressed up like for Halloween. The kid says, "I'm an IRS agent." Then he takes 28 percent of the man's candy, leaves, and doesn't say, "Thank you."
A hearty welcome to the following new TCPA members
From Laurel High School: Ciera Jeter and Eric Simon
From Randallstown High School: Abigail Lindo

Tomorrow's CPA mourns the death of Benjamin L. King Sr., Maryland's first African-American CPA
Benjamin L. King Sr., the first African-American to earn a CPA license in Maryland and a dedicated advocate for black accountants, died on Tuesday. King earned his groundbreaking CPA designation in 1957, making him just the 45th African-American nationwide to join the profession. He joined the Maryland Association of CPAs in 1958 and remained an MACPA member until his death.
