After a successful roll out of AARP Charlotte's new Coffee and Conversation series in 2013, we are happy to share with you our February/March schedule. This year we have added some new topics that are especially important to those of you looking to make the best decisions of health for you and your family.

Are you looking for that special “something” that allows you to give back to your community? Are you interested in helping develop meaningful programs that will allow older Charlotteans to make better long term care decisions for themselves and their families?
