AARP truly offers something for everyone—whether it’s writing postcards, making phone calls, or engaging directly with policymakers. Each effort matters, and together we’re making a powerful impact.
Gayle Brown Olson has been awarded the 2025 AARP Andrus Award for Community Service for Minnesota. The annual award is AARP’s most prestigious and visible volunteer award.

Gayle’s unwavering commitment to volunteer service exemplifies the belief of AARP’s founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, in the power of ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
