50 Ways to Make a Difference
Join us on May 8, 2008 for AARP's Eighth Annual Day of Service. On this day, we hope you'll join thousands of people around the country to make a difference in local communities. We created "50 Ways to Make a Difference" in honor of AARP's 50th Anniversary. Of course, you can also pick your own project. There are plenty of ways to help—either by clicking the mouse, helping a neighbor, or volunteering for a nearby organization.
