AARP Kansas hosted its annual Advocacy Day—affectionately known as Cookie Day—at the Kansas Statehouse. This event brings volunteers together to meet with legislators, share cookies, and most importantly, discuss issues that matter to Kansans age 50 and older.
Building great communities takes time – but small, tangible improvements can spark lasting change. That’s the idea behind the AARP Community Challenge, a grant program launched in 2017 to support quick-action projects that enhance livability nationwide.
AARP is seeking volunteers to advocate for policies aimed at improving the lives of older Kansans during the 2023 legislative session beginning in January.
Carolyn Wyatt, Kansas City, has been selected to receive the 2022 AARP Kansas Andrus Award for Community Service, the Association’s most prestigious and visible state volunteer award for community service.
