December NewsletterGreetings AARPCV Community,As we end 2018, the AARPCV Board of Directors would like to thank everyone for their support throughout the year. We successfully relaunched our AARPCV website, ushered in a new FREE membership structure for the first time in AARPCV's 35-year history, and we have continued to grow this year. Our signature events and fundraisers including the Wine Tasting Fundraiser, The New Member Brunch, Pride Parade, and the Quarterly Potlucks, continue to be great traditions for AARPCV. We served in community gardens and served the refugee community. We also donated thousands of dollars to Peace Corps Partnership Projects! We truly appreciate everyone that supported our fundraising and volunteer efforts in 2018! The Board looks forward to seeing you at the final event of the year (Holiday Potluck) and into the New Year! Be sure to visit the AARPCV website and stay connected in 2019! Here is AARPCV news and what's coming up:
