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.

AARP recently worked with Wish of a Lifetime, a charitable AARP affiliate, to send 16 Wyoming veterans age 65 and over to tour military memorials in Washington, D.C.

Among the breakout sessions will be Baier’s presentation on AARP’s six pillars of brain health. The six pillars of brain health include: being social, engaging your brain, managing stress, ongoing exercise, restorative sleep, and eating right. AARP Wyoming has made brain health education a priority. Each week we offer a robust series of online classes held via zoom that are free and open to the public. Anyone of any age can join.

AARP Connecticut’s legislative priority is to work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle on policies and regulations that will keep more money in the pockets of residents and their families; address rising costs of utilities so all people have fair and affordable access to the necessary services; support family caregivers; strengthen protections around predatory lending practices; ensure prescription drug prices are reasonable, justified, and support improved consumer access and affordability; and help older adults live safely and independently in their communities and more.
