AARP Vermont

Applications Due June 26

Unfortunately, due to social distancing restrictions, the sailing trips for our members in July have been cancelled. AARP Vermont hopes to reschedule events like these as restrictions change, but nothing can be set at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment this causes.

Due to concerns for the safety and our members and staff in light of the pandemic, we have cancelled the scheduled shredding events in Colchester (May 12) and Brattleboro (May 19). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are committed to reschedule the service for later this year when it becomes safe to do so. Please stay tuned for more information on this event and others as the year progresses and social distancing restrictions are adjusted. Thank you for your understanding.

Here are some of the scams and malicious attacks that surfaced in the past week.
