Starting May 14, AARP Delaware is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025. For nine decades, Social Security has been a stable and reliable foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans—and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come.
John Walsh, a retired high school teacher, decided to retire to Delaware’s scenic beaches years ago. He wanted to enjoy all the Lewes/Rehoboth area had to offer while keeping his expenses manageable. He made a decision to purchase a manufactured (or modular) home. He has a comfortable and affordable home. He owns his home, but leases the land around it from a landowner.
AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2019 Delaware Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ Delawareans who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.
Even the most experienced drivers can benefit from brushing up on their driving skills. Why? Cars have changed, and so have traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel every day. A quick refresh of your skills can help you drive safer and longer. It ensures that you can easily get behind the wheel and go to the doctor, supermarket and to fun social events that keep you active.
AARP was founded in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus, a retired educator from California. As we celebrate our 60th birthday, we stay true to her original mission by creating positive social change through advocacy, service and information for Delawareans age 50-plus, and their families. The drive, innovation and compassion of our founder continue to inspire our work as we dedicate ourselves to improving lives, standing up to injustice and transforming the marketplace. We aim to empower people to choose how they live as they age.
