An emergency can hit at a moment’s notice – whether it’s a natural disaster like flooding, wildfires or high winds, or a personal emergency like a house fire.
“When an emergency hits, adrenaline kicks in making it hard to think straight,” said Joseph Roybal Sanchez, AARP New Mexico State Director. “You may only have minutes to get your family, your pets and yourself to safety.”
Whether you're a caregiver, someone who receives care—or both—you're welcome. We'll have piano music, a variety of teas, light refreshments, and some fun, low-key activities. It’s a chance to relax, connect with others, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon in good company.
