AARP Chapter 632 has February meeting

AARP Chapter 632 met Feb. 25 at the James B. Allen Generations Center with Lynn May presiding. There were 18 members and guests present.

The meeting was opened with attendees reciting the Pledge of Allegiance followed by prayer led by Elizabeth Gay.

Colista Ledford was then honored as everyone sang ‘Happy Birthday.’

May announced that the Generations Center would be willing to allow AARP members to use the computers there. She stated she would offer a class on working with emails and passwords. The local chapter’s email address is AARP.winchesterky@gmail.com.

Don Rose said this chapter has again been offered a grant of up to $1,000 to try to grow the chapter. The number of members and attendance have been declining.

Our chapter received $500 last year through a similar grant offer. We have until April 1 to apply for the grant, which Rose and May will submit.

We need a project leader who will launch projects to advertise the chapter’s benefits to our citizens and community.

Rose stated currently the chapter has a roster of 48 members, but at one time there were 120. Several good ideas to increase membership were presented. Everyone 50 years of age or older is invited to join and guests are always welcome.

Rose and Sue Staton ended the meeting by relating several interesting stories from their childhood.

The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. March 31 the James B. Allen Generations Center, 32 Meadow St.
