AARP New York proudly celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as we celebrate the contributions of the AAPI community to the fabric of New York and beyond. During this month, we reached out to our New York elected officials from around the state to share their stories about why AAPI representation is important, how they celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, and what New Yorkers age 50-plus can do to get involved in local and state public policy.

AARP members and guests are invited to join us for virtual Tai Chi sessions with Master Ray, every Tuesday in May at 10:00 AM EST. Each session will focus and is dedicated to strengthening various parts of the body and mind.

In addition, we're also offering a virtual food tour: Taste of India Cooking Series with Gayatri Hingwala. This three-week Indian cooking class meets on Zoom on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM ET. These interactive demonstrations will include food and preparation tips and recipe ideas that your loved ones can enjoy at home!

We look forward to celebrating the rich culture of connection, compassion and care with you this May.
