In this interactive community conversation presented by AARP, attendees will learn how Social Security is funded and about the future health and stability of the program. Individuals also will learn how to help protect Social Security for the hard-working Americans who have earned it, in part by electing candidates who will listen to seniors’ struggles — and pass helpful, common-sense solutions. This event will be held Thursday, July 18, at 1 p.m. at the Senior Center. Those interested should call the Senior Center at 508-497-9730 to register.
