If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair.

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair.

We currently offer presentations and informational materials on fraud prevention and scams, brain health, Social Security and decluttering your home and keeping your home safe and fit as you age. We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

We currently offer presentations and informational materials on fraud prevention and scams, brain health, Social Security and decluttering your home and keeping your home safe and fit as you age. We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair.

The AARP St. Louis Speakers Bureau is currently has free in-person speaking engagements scheduled in the St. Louis area for our members and the general public. We currently offer presentations and informational materials on fraud prevention and scams, brain health, Social Security and decluttering your home and keeping your home safe and fit as you age. We would love to see you at a future event! To see a list of dates, locations and topics CLICK HERE.
Downsizing and Decluttering: You Can't Take it With You
Having too much stuff can impede people from relocating or getting health care into their homes. If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.
Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits
Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions.
Six Pillars of Brain Health
It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.
Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft
Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.
HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All
How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”

We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair.

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair.

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?

We would love to see you at a future event!

If you’re looking to get rid of some unwanted stuff around the home, join us for our free downsizing and decluttering event. This engaging presentation will explore why stuff is so important for some people. You’ll hear about important organizing tips while exploring how streamlining your things could help you feel happier, less stressed, and more productive.<br><br><b><u>Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits</u></b><br>Do you understand how Social Security works? Have you wondered what the differences between full, early, and delayed benefits are? This is where AARP can help. Join us for a free Social Security workshop as we explore these topics and more. The Social Security: Understanding Your Benefits workshop focuses on building an understanding of the implications of Social Security claiming decisions. <br><br><b><u>Six Pillars of Brain Health</u></b><br>It’s never too late to take charge of your brain health! In this hour-long, interactive session you will learn about the six pillars of a brain-healthy lifestyle. Discover how living an active life – by learning more, being social, staying fit, eating right, getting enough sleep and managing stress – can support brain health.<br><br><b><u>Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft</u></b><br>Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked, they steal billions from Americans like you every year. AARP is arming Americans with the tools they need to spot and avoid fraud and scams so they can protect themselves and their families.<br><br><b><u>HomeFit: Making Home Safe and Livable for All</u></b><br>How can you future-proof your home? AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements — such as single-story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. Join us for a FREE HomeFit event, where you and your family can explore ways to make your current or future residence your “lifelong home.”<br><br>To see a list of dates, locations and topics and to register <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://aarp.cvent.com/c/calendar/fce840e7-0dff-4555-9f3f-d96fdc8352f5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE</a></span></span>.<br><br>Need a speaker for an event you are organizing?
