LFA's Trip to the 2009 AARP Convention in Las Vegas
Malinda and I attended the October 2009 AARP Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed attending various presentations, booths, and gaining information. One of our Ambassadors, Eugene Conrad from Connecticut, traveled to the convention to share his experience leading a Stepping Strong walking group. Lauren Torrisi, an AARP representative working for health education and outreach, gave a presentation on the importance of fitness. She provided Mr. Conrad with time to share his experience as an Ambassador, as well as for Malinda and I to give more information about our organization. We also had the opportunity to meet with AARP archivist, Lily Liu, and share more about our Stepping Strong program with her. Malinda and I found the trip to be a positive one and look forward to attending next year’s convention in Florida.
