AARP Nebraska hosts community conversation on future of Medicare & Social Security at Adams Community Center June 25

Omaha, Neb. - AARP Nebraska will host a community conversation about the future of Medicare and Social Security at the Adams Community Center in Omaha June 25.

AARP recently launched You've Earned a Say, a national conversation about strengthening health and retirement security. Nebraskans will be invited to join in You've Earned a Say through community conversations, public forums, teletown hall sessions and other events spanning the state from Omaha to Scottsbluff this year.

"AARP is taking the debate about the future of Medicare and Social Security out from behind closed doors in Washington so Nebraskans can have a voice," said Bob Eppler, state president of AARP Nebraska. "Our members and older Nebraskans have worked too hard to let the next President and Congress decide the future of Medicare and Social Security without hearing from us."

The You've Earned a Say community conversation hosted by AARP Nebraska will be held in Omaha on Monday, June 25.The free event will run from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Adams Community Center at 3320 Creighton Blvd. Refreshments will be provided.

The community conversation is open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required. RSVP by June 20 by calling 1-877-926-8300 toll free. For more about You've Earned a Say, see www.earnedasay.org.
