Bainbridge/Chagrin AARP

Aug. 1, 1 p.m.

The Bainbridge/Chagrin AARP Chapter 4527 will meet at Bainbridge Town Hall, 17826 Chillicothe Road, Bainbridge Township.

The Chordials, an a cappella singing group, will sing a variety of songs.

After our program, we will hold a brief meeting and hear what AARP is trying to do for you.

We are still collecting for the “Food For Friends” food pantry, and the Geauga Dog Shelter. These are 2 very important groups that depend on donations to support the needs in communities that are depending on support from us. Also, school starts this month, and the pantry needs school supplies to distribute to the students. We hope that our AARP members will remember those less fortunate, both 2 legged and 4 legged.

Come and join us, meet with friends, make new friends, and enjoy some sweet treats.

For more information, call Betty Franek, 440-5453-4767.
