AARP Wyoming is seeking volunteers to join a Veterans Advisory Council, which will inform AARP Wyoming efforts in the space of Veterans, Military and Family outreach. The Advisory Council would meet quarterly to discuss how AARP can better serve Wyoming’s veterans. To volunteer, contact Jen Baier at jbaier@aarp.org, or call 920-392-2250. AARP has a number of resources, news, features, and discounts for veterans. For more, visit: aarp.org/wyoming.
