As a retired IT specialist, William April has an insider’s understanding of computer security. And for the past six years, he has taken that expertise—along with his big smile and booming voice—on the road for AARP Vermont, delivering fraud prevention presentations to groups across the state.
AARP Vermont is pleased to announce that William (Bill) April has been selected as the recipient of the 2024 Andrus Award for Community Service, the organization’s most prestigious and visible volunteer award. This award recognizes outstanding community service and is named after AARP’s founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus.
Caring for a parent, spouse, or other loved one can be a 24/7 job that is emotionally, physically and financially difficult. That’s why AARP works tirelessly to support family caregivers, striving to make your big responsibilities a little bit easier.
PushBack at Parkinson’s Disease is a medically advised, community supported exercise program for people with Parkinson’s Disease. People with PD need extra support for meaningful exercise. When they get that support, they feel better, move better and have a better quality of life. YOU can help. Volunteer exercise partners are essential to PushBack. It only takes a little bit of training to be a partner and in return, you have a lot of fun, make friends, and make a huge impact. Classes are currently running in Winooski, Essex, Barre, and Middlebury. Email Maggie Holt (Margaret.holt@uvmhealth.org) if you are interested or have questions.
