"My mother was an AARP member for years. I know that you all have been contacting me for a while to renew, and I just did. I hear & see all the wonderful things that you offer and would like to continue to be a part of this. I tried t find somewhere else to try to e-mail you, and couldn't so I'm using this space instead. How do I learn more about your health benefits, and discount events? Please reply at your earliest convenience.”

Member Feedback:
“I would really love to see some articles on retirement places for 'the rest of us'. We are the people who are retiring on a shoe-string and won't be buying $250,000+ homes. We are concerned with sales taxes, property taxes, income taxes, license taxes, etc. We want to know where these are the lowest. We want to know where we can buy a home that we can afford (under $150,000) without living in a super-crowded area with others right on top of us. It would be great to see an article for those of us on the poorer end of the retirement scale for a change.

“As individuals, it’s hard to make a difference, but when you belong to a group or professional organization it’s easier. AARP can raise issues that are of concern to senior citizens and people have to listen to them.”

-- Cynthia Hesters, AARP Member

“I like all of the benefits and services that AARP has to offer. I am a retired veteran and even the military does not offer all the help I can get from AARP.”

-- Anthony Stewart, AARP Member

“I like how AARP serves as an advocate to help members deal with different issues and stay informed. I also like the multitude of resources available and discounts including insurance and health care. Without AARP, many would be uninformed consumers and approach things unprotected.”

-- Doreen McGovern, AARP Member

“My children’s father was given 3 month to live from inoperable cancer. We were planning on getting the family together to plan all services and burial, unfortunately he only lasted a few weeks. We had 2 days to plan, purchase and set up services (he had no insurance or prepaid burial). While selecting the flower arrangements I found out I could get a 15% discount by using my AARP card. This was the first time I used my AARP card, it may not seem like much, but at the time it was the only positive in our day.”

--Betty Riddle, AARP Member
