Day of Service
Again this year, AARP staff and volunteers will be doing a variety of hands-on educational and direct-service projects that benefit the elderly, the disabled, and other vulnerable populations. On Thursday, May 8th, thousands of AARP staff, volunteers, chapter members, and community partners are expected to participate in Day of Service 2008 projects ranging from repairing and rehabilitating homes of seniors and people with disabilities to sorting clothing, assembling care packages, and packing food baskets. You too can support this year's Day of Service by volunteering at a local organization or by helping an elderly or homebound neighbor with basic chores and errands.

Other Resources/Free Workshops
The AARP provided the winners with a resource sheet that included several helpful links. One of the links I contacted was www.sba.gov. I took several of their free on line courses. This site is packed with helpful information about starting a business, is free and readily available to anyone interested in starting a buisness of any kind.
Also, thanks to AARP in Chicago, I was able to get some hands on training at a workshop at the University of Illinois. This workshop covered every aspect of business planning to potential business locations.
The resources provided are extremely helpfulin pursuring this venture.
