Last month, AARP Wyoming State President Stella Montano and I joined AARP leaders from across all 50 states as we took to Capitol Hill with a clear, unified message: do right by America’s 50+ population. As part of AARP’s 2025 Lobby Day, volunteers and staff held over 400 meetings with lawmakers in the House and Senate to press for action on the issues that matter most—protecting Social Security, preventing harmful cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, and providing real support to the nation’s 48 million family caregivers.

Sheridan’s Community Action Team (CAT) saddled up for a meaningful cause during this year’s annual WYO Rodeo Parade, bringing AARP’s fraud prevention message to thousands along the parade route. With the spirited theme, “AARP: Lassoing Fraud,” CAT members creatively spotlighted the importance of protecting seniors and the community from scams and financial fraud.

This summer marks the 90th anniversary of Social Security—one of the most important and effective programs in American history. Since 1935, it has been a lifeline for millions of Americans, providing critical financial support and peace of mind after a lifetime of hard work.

When 12-year-old Dagny created a school video about her grandfather’s service in Vietnam, she had no idea it would lead to a life-changing trip to the nation’s capital—thanks to AARP Wyoming. What followed was a powerful journey of remembrance, bonding, and discovery for three generations of one Wyoming family—and a moving reminder of how AARP continues to honor veterans and connect families through meaningful support.
