Maryland State Delegate Barbara Robinson has recognized AARP Maryland for its commitment to honoring all U.S. military personnel who served during the Vietnam War. Under the leadership and initiative of volunteer and Baltimore resident John Henkel, AARP Maryland has partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense and presented more than 600 Vietnam and Vietnam-Era veterans with an official Welcome Home lapel pin and Presidential Proclamation honoring their service and sacrifice on behalf of a grateful nation.

It should be no surprise that AARP is actively involved in the fight against dementia-related illnesses. A new opportunity to fight these diseases is now available here in Maryland.

More than 771,000 Maryland residents are caring for an older parent or other loved one, helping them to live independently at home. These family caregivers have a huge responsibility, and now there’s support in place that will make life a little bit easier for them.

On Wednesday, October 26 and Thursday, October 27, join AARP Maryland and the Baltimore County Department of Aging at the 2016 Baby Boomer and Senior Expo for the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, Maryland.

Millersville resident Judy Crane has been recognized with AARP Maryland's highest volunteer honor, the 2016 Ethel Percy Andrus Award, in recognition of her outstanding community service at Anne Arundel Medical Center on behalf of stroke patients and individuals with aphasia.

Guest Blogger and AARP Maryland volunteer Jim Gutman shares tips on how to spot and fight fraud.

Montgomery County is making it easier for the 50 plus community and their families to age comfortably in place as it becomes Maryland’s first jurisdiction to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities. As the 73rd community in the U.S. to sign on to the network, Montgomery County'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 and around the world.

Thanks to all who attended this event! Look for our next advocacy day in 2016.
