About AARP

On Thursday, May 10, 2018, the SW Roanoke AARP Chapter 4652 celebrated it 27th anniversary at the Westhampton Christian Church in Roanoke. The theme of the event was "Looking Back, Moving Forward." Speaking at the event was Ben Crawford of the Blacksburg Chapter. Guests included Blacksburg Chapter member, Carol Crawford as well as Roanoke Eureka Chapter #0514 members, Mary Terry, President, James Jordan, VP and Doris Durham. Old albums from the SW Roanoke Chapter were exhibited. A time of good food and fun was had by all.

WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND HOPE TO BRING THIS EXCITING WORKSHOP TO AUGUSTA SOON. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.

Chicago, IL. – Illinois consumers, businesses, cities and state taxpayers all could score a big win in the 2018 Illinois legislative session if state Senate leaders allow a vote on legislation to rein in unpredictable, skyrocketing prices in generic and off-patent medications, according to AARP Illinois and the former mayor of a northern Illinois city recently featured on “60 Minutes.”

ASHEVILLE – At a regional fraud prevention event held by elder advocates across the Mountain Region, AARP volunteer Betsy Cantrell was presented with the AARP Andrus Award for her outstanding contributions to improving the lives of adults as they age.

AARP believes that no one’s possibilities should ever be limited by their age and seeks to find new solutions so that more people can live and age as they choose. In just the past four months, with the support of AARP members, advocacy volunteers and coalition partners we have achieved noteworthy success on behalf of our 1.3 million Garden State members. AARP members and volunteers have made thousands of calls, sent almost 6,000 emails, conducted numerous legislative visits with our elected representatives and organized two lobby days at the New Jersey State Capitol. Your actions demonstrate the power of AARP are the secret sauce to achieving positive change in the lives of not only the 50 plus, but for all New Jerseyans.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact Don Fears, dfears@aarp.org, if you have any questions.

RaeAnn Johnson of Grand Forks and Cindy Yale of Burlington have been appointed to the AARP North Dakota Executive Council.

We want to thank our partners WFXG FOX 54, Georgia Bikes, Central Savannah River Area Regional Commission, Augusta Warrior Project, Shiloh Comprehensive Community Center, The Kiwanis Club of Uptown Augusta and our wonderful volunteers for a successful event. We hope you enjoy the rebroadcast of our livestream! Special thanks to our moderator, CE Huffman from WFXG.
