City live I still remember right before
I turned 50 someone say you're gonna get
some discounts but that's not the only
good reason to be a member of AARP and
Justine Connelly is back with us today
to talk about that hi hi it's great to
be here good to have you so what are
some of the other benefits or please do
include that because it's a bit one of
the things always people say so I say
come for the benefits and stay for the
services we have so much AARP has to
offer so I've brought my little handy
dandy AARP membership god I just want to
read some of things travel health and
wellness entertainment restaurants
shopping in groceries insurance finances
home and family auto services caregiving
working jobs magazines and resources
advocacy all kind of community
opportunities and we keep going from
there it does keep going from there and
once when you were here we talked about
this I had the word seniors scattered
throughout these cards right and she
said well you know we serve you at 50
and up do you want me to call you a
senior and I said I'm not a singer yet
I'm not a senior yet either so when I'm
a hundred and we'll talk from there I'll
talk about that so 15 up is what we're
talking about and how do you become an
AARP member it's very very simple
you can call when I eight seven seven
numbers or you can go online at aarp.org
slash join and then you're part of it an
exclusive club and there are some things
that you can do that other people who
are not members kids exclusive benefits
all right they're all kind of exclusive
benefits for instance we do movies for
grown-ups movies for grown-ups
they send you an email and say we have a
pre-release movie coming out we saw
hidden figures we saw Black Panther the
wife we life as it everything so many
movies but you have to be able to opt in
to get that email and click on it get to
go and sign up for the movie and take a
guest for free for free well I was
waiting for you to say for for a depo
for free I wasn't waiting for free no
okay so that's definitely a big thing
and then Thursday you have another event
happening so it's Thursday we have an
event one of our big areas is caregiving
and a lot of people don't know that
they're caregivers they don't think
about this it's just what we do but if a
movie called the AARP was able to
collaborate on call what they had
starring a Blythe Danner and I think
Hilary Swank and some other folks some
real big names and is talking about not
only Alzheimer's but what they had and
how families navigate through those kind
of things and we're gonna be at Regency
over in Regency this Thursday night but
you have to have had sign up at AARP org
sometimes I send you to a waitlist
because our list is already full okay so
aarp.org is where you would go for that
to be a part of that showing of that
movie that could be comforting
life-changing i opening exactly and we
caregivers are not just people 50 and
older there are people caregiving at
every age and so we tell people you know
share the wealth bring someone that you
wouldn't normally bring a doesn't get
out often or bring your young person
your your daughter granddaughter and a
son it's always so funny and fun to see
a variety of people at the movies for
grown-ups
that does sound like it would be a
really nice evening out too especially
because in some in some capacity as you
said Justine you might be a caregiver
and until you really think about it you
realize like an enormous part of your
energy goes towards the well-being of
somebody you love and you don't even
think about it so one more time that
website ARP dot org okay and then also I
know very important we're gonna have a
chance to talk more about this too is
voting and how important it is for this
demographic to get out and vote
so aarp.org and make sure you do the
