AARP Pennsylvania Advocacy Director Ray Landis today told a State Senate Panel that the Corbett Administration’s investigation into privatizing the operations of the state lottery must ensure predictable revenue streams and generate new resources for long-neglected home and community-based services programs serving older adults.

Good things happen when AARP shows up and begins by listening to what a community needs. And that is just what we did in 2012.

This past fall, AARP sponsored a multicultural festival, held at the renowned National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. The festival was a celebration of the diversity and community life that is found throughout the Delaware Valley. The event brought together local residents and guests to celebrate a rich medley of cultures within the African American, Asian, and Hispanic-Latino communities.

The following article commemorating AARP PA’s 25th anniversary appears in the November 2012 edition of Inside AARP.

AARP launched You’ve Earned a Say< http://www.earnedasay.org/> back in March, and PA residents have not been shy about entering the national conversation about how to protect Medicare and Social Security for today’s seniors and strengthen them for future generations. So far the You’ve Earned a Say has engaged over 3 million people nationwide.
