Seeking Accessible, Affordable and Quality Health Care2009 Andrus Award Winner for Colorado Announced
In 1989, Elsie and Don Johnson were instrumental in establishing AARP Chapter #3664-Green Mountain. Since then, they have served in various officers’ roles within their chapter and the Denver Metro Council. Most recently, they have been true leaders with the Divided We Fail initiative, staffing events weekly—and, when needed—they have helped out with last-minute requests. They have been a mainstay for tai chi at the Denver Botanic Gardens, AARP’s Sack a Seed Program, and the Dictionary Days event. Not only do Elsie and Don volunteer many hours with AARP, but they continue to give back to their community in other ways, by donating food and other items every week to the Jefferson County Action Center and the Battered Women Agency. They have also been known to help neighbors who have lost their spouses to remain independent.
