AARP recently conducted a survey of Tennessee adults ages 18 and older who indicate they intend to shop for gifts and services as part of a holiday celebration during the months of October, November, and December. The survey explored how much they knew about avoiding holiday scams, which behaviors they engage in that might put them at risk and whether they experienced any stressful life events that could make it difficult to resist swindlers in the marketplace.

In a special ceremony and luncheon on October 28, 2015, AARP Tennessee presented Carolyn Lawhorn with its 2015 AARP Tennessee Andrus Award for Community Service. This honor is the Association’s most prestigious and visible state volunteer award, recognizing people for service which has greatly benefited the community, supporting AARP’s vision and mission, and inspiring others.
