AARP Virginia had fun on purpose at Almost Christmas, Movies for Grownups screening. A total of 70 guests shared laughs, popcorn and bottled H2O at the Downing Gross Cultural Arts Center. The movie was a chance for AARP members and non-members to enjoy an afternoon free of the holiday shopping frenzy. This event allowed AARP Southeast Virginia to introduce all the great ways the 50+ plus community can be engaged and empowered through campaigns and events.
