“Social Security was signed into law on Aug. 15, 1935. It’s arguably the most successful and popular initiative in American history. AARP Hawai`i is celebrating the anniversary with a series of events across the state, including an evening of comedy with Augie T,” Lopez said. “But even as we have fun and celebrate, we want people to know that AARP is serious about Social Security and that everyone can help us fight for the program that is vital to the financial security of so many kupuna.”
