AARP Eye Center
Dear AARP MA Friends,
At AARP Massachusetts, we maintain an active presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, and we'd like to have you join us! Through our Facebook and Twitter accounts we bring you up-to-date information about upcoming community outreach events — Life Reimagined Checkups, HomeFit workshops; Fraud Watch Network events, Encore Entrepreneur/SBA events, and more — as well as key legislative advocacy issues we're working on at both the state and national levels. Our Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest pages are also where we share information that's just plain fun.
To encourage our members' and non-members' participation in our social media efforts, we're pleased to provide the following free, on-demand Social Media Webinars.
The webinars, recorded at our AARP Massachusetts offices in Boston, are free of charge and offered as a way to bring basic social media training to people across the state.
Questions? Email us at ma@aarp.org. Enjoy the Social Media Webinars and we look forward to having you join us on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!
