AARP Tampa Bay’s Consumer Protection Fair at its Annual Day of Service
Each year, around 9/11, AARP shuts its doors, and goes out into the community to engage with their neighbors on a community service project. This year, AARP Tampa Bay worked with the Stetson University College of Law to host a Consumer Protection Fair as part of its enduring work to educate and protect seniors from fraud.
“We want to thank AARP for this day of service,” said Rebecca Morgan, J.D., Stetson University interim director at the center for excellence in elder law. “This year, they contacted us and we jumped at the opportunity and we’re so grateful to have them with us.”
“We’ve partnered with Stetson Law because they have a wonderful elder law program” said Michelle Cyr, associate state director for advocacy and outreach in Tampa Bay. “Their staff, students and professors have extensive knowledge about senior exploitation and elder abuse making them experts in that field and great community partners.”
