At AARP Georgia's Day at the Capitol in March, one of our volunteers asked a state legislator about the high cost of prescription drugs. The legislator responded that the cost of medicine is often too high; and that she, herself, has been prescribed $600/month eye drops, which she cannot afford so she doesn't use them. This example is all too common.
AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2019 Georgia Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ Georgians who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.
AARP Georgia is partnering with MicroLife Institute ( a 2018 Community Challenge Grant winner!) to help introduce you to the world of micro living and see the big impact a tiny house can have, especially if you're a caregiver, 50+ and thinking about retirement and downsizing, or you're a household with varied generations.
