Free safety course
During November, AARP is offering a free driver safety class to active and retired military personnel and their spouses.
Classes are limited in size, so those interested should call early to find a class that fits their needs. Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
After signing up for a course, participants should bring a valid military ID to the classroom -- such as discharge papers (DD Form 214), American Legion cards, dependent ID cards or Veterans of Foreign Wars cards. Participating veterans will be asked to complete a veteran participation form as part of the course, which will be provided onsite by the instructor.
