As I begin this Blog, we are in the middle of the Summer and on another day of 100 F. Thank goodness the a/c is working and I can write this issue under the overhead fan in my bonus room. Don’t know which I prefer more, the dog days of Summer or the below freezing days of Winter. One thing I dislike about the weather is when I get caught up in a howling wind and it’s raining. Being wet and cold are far worse than hot temperatures.
I ended our first Blog with notes on the cost increases for utilities. These are price increases that affect all of us and are happening in our own backyard. The cost of electricity next year, if approved by the state governing board, will be 8% higher than the current year while the cost of natural gas as announced is expected to increase 25% if approved by the State Industrial Board.
In a state familiar with drought, extreme heat, wildfires and earthquakes, preparing for natural disasters is critical. An upcoming AARP Idaho telephone town hall will provide information on how to do so.
Today, AARP Idaho announced three organizations will receive 2022 Community Challenge grants – part of the largest group of grantees to date with $3.4 million awarded among 260 organizations nationwide. Grantees will implement quick-action projects that help their communities become more livable in the long-term by improving public places with an emphasis on the needs of adults age 50 and over.
Welcome to the 1st edition of the Idaho AARP Blog as told by AARP volunteer (and former Montana State football player) Fred Turner.
