Louisiana AARP, teaming up with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), will host an “encore entrepreneur” event in New Orleans on April 29, 2013. The event will be held at the AARP Community Resource Center, 3502 South Carrollton, at 5:30 p.m. Participants will learn how to start their own business, how to develop a business strategy, franchising business structures and identifying financial resources.

Join AARP and enjoy authentic soul food and Creole cuisine while listening to Jazz, Gospel and Blues at Soul Fest.

We’re familiar with the adage Home Sweet Home. But as we age, many of us not only cling to our homes but also our neighborhoods—the familiar surroundings of streets, stores, friends, businesses and community.

Every day hardworking people struggle to make ends meet. In fact, almost 20 million people 50 and older are feeling overwhelmed by mounting debt, poor credit or lack of savings. It doesn’t have to be that way.
