Today, hundreds of AARP volunteers and staff from all 50 states are descending on Capitol Hill with one powerful message for lawmakers: protect what matters most to older Americans.
$76,000 in grants aims to help residents of all ages, especially older adults, improve how they live, move, and stay connected in their neighborhoods through innovative local projects
To commemorate this milestone, AARP Idaho is inviting you, your family and friends to join us August 6 for a private evening at Zoo Boise. You’ll receive free admission to the zoo while enjoying complimentary ice cream, refreshments and shaded pavilions. Ride the carousel, feed the goats, we’ll even have face painting for the kids (or adults). It’s an entirely new way to enjoy the zoo and an evening the whole family will enjoy!
This past August we celebrated the 88th birthday of Social Security. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law on Aug. 14, 1935. Last month I had the honor, along with other AARP volunteers from around the country, to meet in Washington D.C. for a bipartisan discussion with members of Congress about the future of Social Security.
AARP Idaho is holding a telephone town hall with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to help people make decisions about Medicare coverage during the program’s annual open enrollment period.
While free time is on your side why not make the most of it? Powered by passion, purpose and peer-to-peer connection, the courses offered by New Knowledge Adventures engage you on every level. Enjoy unlimited classes this fall at no charge!
We need Congressional action NOW: In the next 10 years, Social Security could be cut by as much as 20 percent. Congressman John Larson (D-CT) and Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) have put ideas on the table to address the challenges Social Security faces now and in the future — and they've welcomed conversation about their ideas.
