English Cuando AARP lanzó sus Real Pads a principios de este año sus diseñadores imaginaron la tableta ser algo que atrae a las personas mayores, ya que les resultaría fácil de entender, fácil de usar y agradable. Irónicamente, las personas mayores no son el único grupo que encuentra esas características técnicas ser muy importante cuando se selecciona una tableta.

At an emergency meeting with its Board of Directors, VI Water and Power Authority (WAPA) Executive Director Hugo Hodge, introduced a plan to take advantage of the dropping cost of propane and other fuels. The plan requested permission to re-institute its former “Hedge Program” with a few modifications. Hodge justified the request saying that “Taking advantage in the drop of propane prices will give ratepayers significant cost savings.”

Español When AARP launched its Real Pads earlier this year its designers envisioned the tablet to be something that would appeal to seniors because they would find it easy to understand, easy to use and enjoyable. Ironically, seniors are not the only group who finds those technical characteristics to be very important when selecting a tablet.

Español AARP VI feels that no one should ever be the victim of a fraud or scam. But to make sure that the right people are aware of what is going on in our community, we need the assistance, eyes and ears of all AARP members.
