South San Francisco, CA May 30, 2017 
The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Chapter 3156 South San Francisco is in the midst of putting together a line up of fun and interesting activities for their members for the balance of this year and their recent trip to Rosie the Riveter caught our eye causing us to reach out for more information. The National Chapter website explains their mission as a ‘nonprofit, nonpartisan, social welfare organization with a membership of nearly 38 million that helps people turn their goals and dreams into real possibilities, strengthens communities and fights for the issues that matter most to families — such as health care, employment and income security, and protection from financial abuse.’
