Through strategic collaboration with lawmakers and community partners, AARP VI advanced key legislation that enhances safety, health, and caregiving across the territory.
“We need to ensure that our aging population can live their remaining years safely and with dignity,” said Troy De Chabert-Schuster, State Director, AARP VI. “This year’s legislative victories reflect our commitment to improving quality of life for older Virgin Islanders.”

For many, Christmastime is the happiest part of the year. And a very important part of the season’s celebrations is, of course, FOOD!!!! We all want to relish in our most local and typical dishes. Not only sweets, but the entire gamut of our local rich cuisine.
For that reason, I picked a simple recipe to share with AARP; one that is not only Crucian, but Caribbean (ESPECIALLY Jamaican) and Puerto Rican! It’s SALTFISH FRITTERS. Hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful Christmas season!!!!

This leave is intended to help them manage essential caregiving responsibilities for a seriously ill spouse, child, parent, or any legal dependent.
