Consumers, take note! Next Thursday, November 15 the Financial Fraud Institute will be holding a free fraud presentation with experts from federal and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies. They will outline steps to spot and avoid fraud, as well as provide information about what to do if you believe you have been the target of a scam. Register here or call 801-579-6191 to reserve your seat, as space in limited.

Proposition 3, on the ballot this November, is an expansion of the Medicaid program, which is jointly funded by the Utah state and federal government. If passed, an additional 150,000 Utahns will have access to affordable healthcare through Medicaid, and it will bring $800 million of federal tax dollars Utahns already pay back into our state to pay for the expansion. The expansion will add approximately 14,000 new jobs, and this new economic activity will add $1.7 billion to Utah's economy.

AARP Utah has a staff of only five people, so we rely on our 300+ volunteers to help us offer programs and events around the state! Volunteer teams in Salt Lake City and Ogden can find themselves checking in members who have registered for events, passing out information at a health fair, introducing speakers for a program, painting a fence for our Day of Service, or helping to stock boxes for the Utah Food Bank. But we can always use more people looking for ways to serve the community! It's important for us to have volunteers' eyes and ears in the community to understand the wants, needs, challenges, and aspirations of people around the state. With your guidance and input, we hope to identify potential partners and areas where AARP Utah can serve and work to make a difference for the 50+ population.
