Come celebrate Cinco de Mayo with AARP Colorado in Pueblo at Bessemer Park

WASHINGTON—AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy & Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond, in a letter, urged Congress to take aggressive next steps to address the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and work to help older Americans, who are most at risk from coronavirus.

We’re writing with an important message to let you know that we have canceled our external events until further notice. While convening events is a core part of our mission, we have changed our approach in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

Music has always played a big part in the lives of Buck and Betty Buckeridge. The Leesburg couple, both in their 90s, met in the band room at Michigan State University, where both played the clarinet. Within weeks, Buck was telling friends that he had met the girl he would marry.

Staying connected as Capitol closes to general public

Bill Walsh, AARP Vice President of Communications and Coronavirus Response Lead to be interviewed on Spectrum News Ohio on March 18.

At AARP, we have been promoting the health and well-being of older Americans for more than 60 years. We are monitoring developments related to Covid-19 and are working feverishly to keep you informed by providing you information and resources to help older people and caregivers protect themselves from the virus and prevent its spread. One of the issues that accompany crisis situations is the issue of price gouging. Unfortunately, Texans are not immune to this type of illegal practice. Texans were told to be on the lookout for scams after Governor Greg Abbott issued a statewide Coronavirus disaster declaration on March 13.
