Potluck – bring your favorite hot dish, salad, or dessert. AARP Chapter will furnish hot dogs, buns, coffee, and ice cream.

Each and every member and friend of Chapter 1203 is invited and requested to attend and help us celebrate the many years we have served our community, and fostered the birth of our present senior center.

This will be our final picnic as we have decided to dissolve our local chapter. If you have not been a regular meeting attendee, advise Elaine Minerich at 674-2952. That will enable her to prepare for added guests. Thanks and see you August 12th.

Beyond 50.03: A Report to the Nation on Independent Living and Disability.

This year's Beyond 50 report, the third on the series, takes an in-depth look at challenges faced by the people 50 and over with disabilities in maintaining independence and dignity as they age. The ability to live independently and with choices typically depends on support from a variety of sources: supportive services, family and community, and the social and physical environment.

Based on a review of historical patterns and new survey data, Beyond 50 finds that options for independent living are growing, as is the number of people 50 and over with disabilities who can live independently, thanks in part to technology. Nevertheless, many individuals have unmet needs and the nation faces a huge challenge in removing the barriers to independence.

The complete report of Beyond 50 is available online at www.aarp.org/beyond50.
