Recognize a stellar volunteer in your community.

Join us on Saturday, May 27, 2017 from 9:45 a.m. - noon and help local artist David Murrieta finish painting a community mural. We also invite you to tune every Saturday 8 - 9 a.m. on 1190 AM or watch and follow us on Facebook @AARP Arizona Hispanic Connection.

We are very excited to announce the launch of AARP Arizona Hispanic Connection, a radio-social media platform. This platform will convene community thought leaders to educate on relevant issues (such as history, health, education, money, and other), celebrate Latino accomplishments (academically, politically, business, arts), and connect Hispanics of all generations.

Valentines Day is a time when people show feelings of love, affection and friendship. The story you are about to read is the real reason this romantic celebration is so touching to so many of us. We hope you enjoy reading this letter sent by one of our members.

TUCSON, Arizona – On January 24, 2017, AARP presented to Mayor Jonathan Rothschild and the City of Tucson Council the official designation of the AARP Network of Age Friendly Communities. As the 122nd community in the U.S. and first in Arizona to sign on to the network, Tucson’s civic leaders will have access to global resources and information on age-friendly best practices, models of assessment and implementation, and the experiences of towns and cities around the world.
