FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Angel Luis Irene, a member of the AARP DC Executive Council, succumbed to kidney cancer on June 10, 2013. From this day forward, loving memories of our dear departed volunteer leader and friend will console us.

Onlookers danced and swayed with the beat of the drum band on the AARP float in the D.C. Capital Pride parade on Saturday, June 8 th. The parade was one of the highlights for AARP participants in DC Pride weekend. Cheering, onlookers stood four-deep along the sidewalks, in the heat, along the 19-block parade route around DuPont Circle, New Hampshire Avenue, and 17th and P streets.

AARP Nevada was happy to play host state for the first Life@50+ National Event of 2013 at the Las Vegas Convention Center May 30-June 1! This conference truly has it all - bringing entertainment, celebrities, experts and exhibits directly to AARP members. It takes a village to put together an event of this breadth and scope - and for us in the Nevada office, that meant recruiting, training and deploying more than 1,000 volunteers to ensure an outstanding experience for all in attendance. That small army of volunteers - nearly half of whom came from Nevada - took tremendous joy and pride in serving as hosts and front-line ambassadors.

Each year many are nominated but only two are chosen. The 2013 recipients of the Maui County Outstanding Older American Award are long-time AARP volunteer Diane Logsdon and Richard Endsley of Lahaina.
