Pete Cartwright, honored as a recipient of the Wish of a Lifetime from AARP, had a remarkable experience when he threw his first pitch at an Astros game.
With nearly 2.5 million members in Texas, AARP Texas strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to older Texans and their families, including health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.
Jessica Lemann, who coordinates Austin area outreach for AARP Texas, regularly presents to AARP chapters and at meetings of community groups. Her presentations are usually well-received, but even she didn’t expect the chain of events that would be spurred by one of her presentations for South Austin chapter #2426.
