After finding an older woman living in a chicken coop because she couldn’t afford decent housing or health care, a retired educator named Ethel Percy Andrus got angry, then got organized. And in doing so, she radically changed the landscape of America. This beautifully illustrated book is the first comprehensive history of Andrus, the founder of AARP, which is the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering Americans 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.
AARP Montana recently announced that it has donated $5,000 to the K9 Care Montana Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program – a non-profit organization based out of Philipsburg. The K9 Care Program is devoted to providing specially trained dogs, at no cost, to our nation’s Wounded Warriors.
