Tuesday, March 24th- AARP Driver Safety- Smart Driver Course
Tuesdays: March 24th, May 12st, July 23th, August 25th, October 27th
9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
The AARP Smart Driver Course (formally Driver’s Safety) is the nation’s first and largest refresher course for drivers age 50 and older. It has given millions of older drivers the skills and tools they need to drive safely on today’s roads. In fact, 97% of those who take it change at least one driving behavior.
And the best part? There are no tests to pass – just useful information to keep you safe on the road! You may get an insurance discount after taking this course! Auto insurance companies in most states provide a multi-year discount to course graduates! Please consult your insurance agent for more information about discounts available to you.
Price increase for 2020: Cost: $20 AARP Members $25 AARP Non-Members
Pay by check (made out to AARP) or cash on the day of the class.
Please arrive 15 minutes before the class starts and bring a pen with you.
Registration is Required. Please sign up at Reception starting January 21st.
Adult Diapers
The Senior Center occasionally has packages of adult diapers donated which are available to seniors in need. If you are in need of some, please ask. Be aware that we cannot take requests for certain brand names. We can let you know if we have the size and type (pull-on, tab or pads) you are looking for.
Inspire, Engage, Enlighten!
Share what you enjoy doing with older or disabled people in your community. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) has volunteer opportunities: visiting, shopping, tutoring, and Meals on Wheels delivery. Volunteer around your schedule and make a positive impact in the community!
Also if you are in need of someone to grocery shop or visit with you, we can help!
