One year ago, AARP Maine sponsored its first virtual listening tour of the state, and heard a wealth of concerns, suggestions, and ideas from AARP members and non-members alike.
State Director Noël Bonam, Volunteer State President Carl Bucciantini and Executive Council member Carl Toney invite Mainers to again join them for What’s Your Story? AARP Maine’s 2023 Virtual Listening Tour.
These interactive sessions give Maine residents the opportunity to share what is on their minds about issues of importance to the 50-plus population from across the state, according to a news release from Jane Margesson, AARP Maine communications director.
AARP Maine leadership expects a robust conversation to take place at each tour “stop.” They plan to get direct input from older Mainers, understand region-specific issues, share resources, help navigate Mainers’ concerns or ideas, and connect with local services.
Registration is open at events.aarp.org/event.
Even though the virtual tour “stops” have been divided into regions, participants are welcome to attend whichever session best suits their schedule.
All events are free, but registration is required. All sessions begin at 6:30 p.m.
Tour stops include:
• Monday, Feb. 20: Kennebec and Moose River Valley
• Wednesday, Feb. 22: Portland and Casco Bay
• Monday, Feb. 27: Southern Maine (Maine Beaches)
