Webinars Tackle Decluttering and Information Overload In October

AARP Wyoming will host two free lifestyle presentations in October to help tidy up the house, as well as wade through the vast amounts of information on the internet.

Join AARP Wyoming at noon on Oct. 21 for an interactive discussion on decluttering your home over Zoom. The one-hour conversation will offer easy-to-follow tips on downsizing and decluttering. The presentation will be led by Patty Loud, who is a member of the national AARP Speakers Bureau. Loud enjoys teaching and conducts virtual sessions across the state.

“We know that having too much stuff can impede people from relocating or getting healthcare into their homes,” says AARP Wyoming State Director Sam Shumway. 

The presentation is free and open to the public, but we do ask that you register at this site. A Zoom link will be sent to you after registration, and if you cannot attend the event live, a recording will be sent after the decluttering presentation. 

At noon on Oct. 28, AARP Wyoming presents a webinar to help you sort fact from fiction online. This presentation is also free to the public, but it asked that you register here. If you cannot attend at noon on Oct, 28, a link to the event’s recording will be shared. 

This free event will equip you with valuable tools and resources to help you stay safe online and learn to tell the difference between a "fake" post and a real one.

“There are plenty of sensationalized headlines, misleading stories, and even complete falsehoods circulating on the Internet, making it hard for even the most discerning reader to sort fact from fiction,” says Shumway.

The AARP Brain Health Webinar is the second in a series of five webinars which will take place each Thursday in October, offering unique and interesting content. All of the webinars are available on AARP Wyoming’s Facebook page, which can be found at: www.facebook.com/AARPWY .  Other webinars in the series include (all begin at noon Mountain Time):
