The community outreach director from AARP Connecticut, Erica Michalowski, MSW, presents this AARP program. Health: Chances are you have a long life ahead of you. Women live an average of five years longer than men and two-thirds of Americans over 65 are women. A woman who is 65 today can expect to live for another 20 years. Home & Community: You deserve to live life the way you want, whether that means renovating your current home or finding a niche retirement community. This advice will help you stay as healthy as possible and includes tips to help you start planning now for future lifestyle choices. This program will take place Thursday, November 29 at 7:00 pm in the Memorial Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road.
