Islip Arts Council is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, and AARP Long Island is excited to collaborate on a special exhibition: FIVE DECADES OF INSPIRATION. This unique event invites artists aged 50 and over to submit artwork that reflects their favorite decade—whether it's the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, or 10s.
Given the projected Social Security shortfall in 2034, AARP is focused on helping older Americans better understand their Social Security benefits and learn about the policies that would strengthen the program for current and future generations. If Congress doesn’t act, millions of Americans who are counting on Social Security will see cuts to the money they’ve earned. If Washington doesn't take action in the next 10 years to protect and save Social Security, it could be cut by 20%, an average of $4,000 a year. That's why AARP Minnesota and AARP Wisconsin have teamed up to bring two events to the Duluth-Superior area that wrestle head-on with the economic impact of Social Security and generational perspectives on retirement.
