US Senator Heller and Representative Dina Titus are the recipients of the 2016 “Champion of the 50+” legislative leadership award for their significant achievements during the 114 th Congress. Senator Heller and Congresswoman Titus received their awards for creating safe access to transportation options with their reintroduction of the Safe Streets Act, which ensures that streets and intersections are designed with adequate pedestrian safeguards in mind. The bill became law as a provision in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act ( FAST) Act. “The work Senator Heller and  Representative Titus have done to ensure we can all walk, drive and ride safely will have tangible benefits for people of all ages,  said  Maria Dent, State Director of AARP Nevada. "Whether you’re a new parent with a baby in a stroller, a senior walking to the neighborhood store, or anyone using our public streets, this bipartisan work will pay dividends and make us safer for generations to come.”

Are your family and friends on Facebook, while you're still wondering what's in it for you? Or if you already use Facebook, do you worry about privacy on the social network? Hate sifting through irrelevant or annoying posts and game invitations to find what you're looking for?

Are you a movie lover? Do you enjoy comparing notes with fellow theatergoers? Do you share reviews or even write your own?

AARP Nevada State Director Maria Dent today announced the appointment of Laura Coger, of Reno, and Vida Chan Lin, of Las Vegas, to the state office’s Executive Council, its volunteer leadership board.
