Portland, OR -- AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2014 Oregon Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ Oregonians who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members. 

“AARP Oregon is excited to shine a light on 50+ Oregonians who are using what they’ve learned in life to make a difference in the lives around them,” said Chad Cheriel, volunteer state president.

Nominations will be evaluated by AARP Oregon based on how the volunteer’s work has improved the community, supported AARP’s vision and mission, and inspired other volunteers. The award recipient will be announced in early fall.
