AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2019 Pennsylvania Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors residents who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community.

“AARP Pennsylvania is excited to shine a light on 50-plus residents who are using what they’ve learned in life to make a difference in the lives around them,” said AARP Pennsylvania Volunteer State President Joanne Grossi.

Named for AARP founder Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, the award recognizes outstanding individuals who are making their communities better in ways that are consistent with AARP’s mission, vision and commitment to volunteer service, and who inspire others to volunteer. Nominations for the award must be submitted by July 15 and will be evaluated by a special committee of AARP Pennsylvania volunteer leaders. The award recipient will be announced this fall.
