AARP Driver Safety Program at CSI Co-ops
Answer:
Sheila had the opportunity to hear back from Anne Sackrison and the feedback is that since AARP is a reputable organization it would be fine to have AARP present on driver safety and they can reference their safety class, but that it wouldn’t be possible to host it at a co-op since there is a fee involved. However, I encourage you to chat with Pat Baldwin and/or the AARP Information Center at Hannan, because there have been times when we’ve hosted the driver safety program here at Hannan, so there may be an opportunity to refer members to a program at Hannan.
Question:
I spoke with an AARP voluneer re: their Driving class for seniors. I was wondering if you thought it a good idea to share this info with other SC’s and perhaps we could offer the classes to the co-op members by county? Because there is a cost involved (it would be collected by AARP) i’m thinking that each co-op might not have a good individual turnout, but if we merged the co-ops, the attendance could look a lot better.

They host trainings, give presentations, and support immigrants in many more ways.
