Kentucky's family caregivers have new resources to help loved ones when they need it most.

Throughout life, many of us find ourselves with multiple opportunities to invent and reinvent our destinies. A chance to start anew, regardless of age, background or circumstance.

We’ve all heard the adage: it’s a small world. But it’s not often that we get to see how small it truly is. Monday, August 14 was Veteran’s Day at the Iowa State Fair. Veterans and their families were honored with discounted admission, a parade, and Veteran-focused activities. AARP Iowa hosted a Veterans Experience booth.

Since then, Brandi and I have been getting a much closer look at everything it takes to be in her position, and all the smaller tasks that she did on a regular basis that we never saw.

For example, we have written press releases, but now that Ann isn’t in the office anymore, we have to figure out where to send the press releases and who to send them to. Brandi and I have spent an entire day devoted to going through all of Ann’s media lists and still are nowhere near done—a task that needs to be done in order to get news out effectively.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is looking to expand its team of volunteers for the upcoming tax season. Approaching its 50 th year, Tax-Aide offers free tax filing help to anyone, especially those 50 and older, who cannot afford a tax preparation service. Tax-Aide volunteers make a difference in their communities by assisting many older, lower-income taxpayers who might otherwise miss out on the credits and deductions they’ve earned.
