NEW! #AARPRI volunteers and staff - along with Providence Mayor Brett Smiley -- LOVED joining forces with Wish of a Lifetime® from AARP and this year’s "Cupid Crew" effort to spread Valentine's Day love to residents at Providence’s Arbor Hill Assisted Living and Dominica Manor.

#AARPRI volunteers and staff LOVED joining forces with Wish of a Lifetime® from AARP and this year’s annual Cupid Crew effort to send love and deliver cards and roses to older adults at two Providence senior living facilities – Arbor Assisted Living and Dominica Manor.

Rep. @CotterforRI has filed legislation to help older Rhode Islanders stay in their homes by allowing deferment of their property taxes. “For most people, a home is their largest asset, an investment in their physical and financial security for life,” said Rep. Cotter. “Unfortunately, staying in that home can become unaffordable when people retire or become disabled. Allowing property tax deferment would provide another option, similar to a reverse mortgage, that would give homeowners more opportunity to age in place and remain in the home they love for the rest of their lives.” More information: rilegislature.gov/pressrelease/_…

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. #AARPRI volunteers are busy making this one special.

Thank you, @SenWhitehouse, for voting to advance the GUARD Act to give authorities the tools they need to combat and investigate fraud.

It’s time. Let’s make this the year RI passes a budget that finally phases out the tax on Social Security. I was at the State House with @AARPRI today to talk about my Affordability for All agenda—putting $215M back into RIers’ pockets by cutting taxes and lowering costs.

Today, Senate President @Val_Lawson and other state leaders took part in @AARPRI’s annual Legislative Reception in the State Room at the State House. Watch: capitoltvri.cablecast.tv/show/11727

Speaker @JoeShekarchi joined @AARPRI for the organization's annual legislative reception at the State House today. Speaker Shekarchi thanked AARP RI and its volunteers for their advocacy - in particular, for championing a bill from his 2024 package of housing legislation that makes it easier for Rhode Islanders to develop accessory dwelling units (or "ADUs") on their property. ADUs are a popular housing option for seniors because they allow people to live independently while downsizing and/or living in close proximity to family.

#AARPRI's annual Legislative Reception is well attended by legislative leaders and other members of the General Assembly. They want to hear from you. Join us on February 5th! Register at aarp.org/RIEvents.

AARP is urging the Social Security Administration to take immediate steps to ensure your private data is safe. spr.ly/6011CCypx
