AARP has teamed up with the Small Business Administration (SBA) for a workshop to help you put your plans into action. The workshop will take place from 10:30 a.m. – noon on November 4 at the Meadowdale Public Library, located on 4301 Meadowdale Boulevard, Richmond, VA 23234.

The Community Idea Stations and OneVirginia2021 are joining forces to produce a statewide public television documentary, GerryRIGGED: Turning Democracy On Its Head. This one-hour documentary will bring awareness to the impact of gerrymandering, and explore how Virginia can progress from a system where legislators create their own districts toward a system that makes sense for true representative government.

AARP Virginia is looking for people who want to make a difference in their community and in our state. We have several opportunities available for you to get involved as an AARP Virginia volunteer in southeast Virginia.

The Arlington Central Library is about to be very busy in the upcoming months as it hosts three AARP workshops which take place in October through November. The workshops are the AARP HomeFit Workshop, Life Reimagined: Discovering Your New Life Possibilities, and Caregiving 101: Preparing to Care for Your Loved One.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, join AARP members and friends for an enchanting evening of the captivating rhythms of Rio de la Plata: the tango. This one-night-only presentation of tango and milonga music features the extraordinary voice of Mariana Quinteros.
