CHEYENNE - AARP Wyoming and its community partners will take over the Derby Club Family Entertainment and Bowling Center on Pershing Avenue in Cheyenne for a three-hour fraud prevention event, April 19, starting at 10 a.m.

The Derby takeover will let Wyomingites learn how to protect themselves from scams and fraud while enjoying bowling, golf simulators, quarter-pin bowling, and more. The event will conclude with a shred event in the Derby Club parking lot.

“This will be a great, active event to stop scammers,” says AARP Wyoming’s Jennifer Baier. “No lectures—just action. All activities are free, and soda will be complimentary from Derby Lanes.”

This event is free and family-friendly, but an RSVP is required for the parts you wish to attend. To register, call 1-877-926-8300 or click here (https://events.aarp.org/event/fraudblitzcheyenne/summary).
