Community

Do you like to write, or are you an amateur photographer? Maybe you're a Facebook or Twitter expert. Join our volunteer communications team -- the Virtual Volunteer Newsroom -- and tell the world about what AARP Virginia is doing in your community. Your job would be to attend AARP events in your area, take photos, post to social media, and write a story about what happened. If you've ever wanted to join the world of journalism, now is your chance!

Please join AARP Virginia in the Movie Screening of NERUDA.

You are invited to a free screening of Jackie starring Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgaard.

With the popcorn and sodas stacked neatly in rows, AARP sponsored its first Movies For Grownups at the Grandin Theater in Roanoke, Virginia. Although the movie started at 1:30 PM, AARP members started trickling in the theater at 11:30 AM in hopes of getting a prime seat. Many members were told to come early because the theatre would be filled.

Someone’s identity is stolen every two seconds. Protect yourself by shredding unneeded confidential documents with the AARP Fraud Watch Network. Bring any confidential documents, up to two boxes, to the Senior Awareness Day Expo and AARP will shred them for free. The shred event is from 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. on April 25 at the Timberlake United Methodist Church, located at 21649 Timberlake Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502.
