About AARP

Today is National Be Heard Day. Never heard of it before? I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s a relatively new holiday created to give small businesses a chance to be heard. While there are many ways small businesses and residents can celebrate this day, AARP Georgia is honoring it by raising our voices about the retirement crisis impacting small businesses and their employees.

Also included is info about voting early!
