When AARP Rhode Island volunteer leader Julia Valles invites people over for supper, it's a big job. She has taken on the task of organizing and running AARP's "Community Suppers" at the St. Martin de Porres Community Center in Providence's West End.
Green Bay resident Libbie Miller was awarded with AARP Wisconsin’s highest honor – the “2013 Andrus Award for Community Service” – at a ceremony July 26 at the Congregation Cnesses Israel in Green Bay. The award is AARP’s most prestigious volunteer award for community service.
Thanks to our AARP volunteers who turned out Saturday for Back to School Celebration "Packing Day." It takes a small army to fill 15,000 backpacks with school supplies and health & nutrition information. But we did it. Thanks to Sodexo, our host, and volunteers from all the Back to School Celebration partners. AARP Rhode Island is proud to sponsor this annual event that means so much to struggling Rhode Island families and encourages learning. Distribution is August 17. If you would like to volunteer to help out at one of the sites around the state, contact Deborah Miller at 401-248-2654.
Many people don't realize that AARP has a local presence here in New Mexico through the State Office in Santa Fe and the AARP Information Center in Albuquerque.
