The 1970s were a landmark decade in filmmaking, making it the perfect backdrop for a film series celebrating 50 years of impact by the Islip Arts Council and the 90th anniversary of Social Security. This free event series, presented in collaboration with AARP New York, highlights iconic films while offering resources for the community.
AARP New York volunteers are a dynamic group of people using skills they’ve cultivated. They work to improve the lives of fellow New Yorkers — and not just folks age 50 and older. They may attend a hip hop concert and hand out fliers about Medicare. They might lend a hand at food drives around Thanksgiving. Or they may travel to Albany to make sure the governor and state legislators are aware of vital issues, like caregiving support and unaffordable prescription drug prices. Whether you love meeting new people, working on projects that matter to your community, or speaking up on issues that impact people 50 and older, AARP has a role for you.
AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2025 Washington Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ Washingtonians who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.
