On Saturday, October 19th, join AARP, ReVisions Resources, and the San Diego chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) for this free retirement planning event with an environmental twist.
In honor of Lincoln High School's centennial, AARP is proud to announce the funding of the Andrus Opportunity Award, a scholarship that will be awarded to a college-bound Lincoln High student each year for the next ten years. AARP has pledged $50,000 to support the scholarship fund. The award is named for AARP founder Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, who served as principal of Lincoln High from 1916 to 1944. Meet the three incredible students who are the finalists for the Andrus Award Opportunity scholarship.
Justice Carlos R. Moreno will become the first recipient of the Andrus Opportunity Award, to be presented in recognition of his distinguished public service during this Saturday's Lincoln High School centennial celebration. AARP founder Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, for whom the award is named, served as principal of Lincoln High School from 1916 to 1944. Moreno, who graduated from Lincoln in 1966, saw her speak while he was a student. "She visited for the school's 50th anniversary while I was a tenth grader in the spring of 1963," Moreno recalls. "She had a legacy even then."
We can hardly believe the summer almost over. But alas, all good things must come to an end. We’ll remember that as we say goodbye to our wonderful, talented, and beloved social media intern Caitlin next week.
Today, 78 years have passed since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, creating the foundation of retirement security in America. The program provides 3,839,895 older Californians with an average annual benefit of $14,700. Social Security doesn’t just protect you in retirement; for families in which a parent becomes disabled or dies, the program can ensure financial stability. It is the key to keeping 1,246,000 Californians out of poverty, helping them pay for basic needs like food and shelter.
