Brewpub Gatherings Will Connect Veterans with AARP Resources

AARP Maryland is hosting a series of “On Tap” events, mainly at veteran-owned brewpubs across the state, aimed at connecting military families with AARP resources targeted to their needs.

The series begins this month and will run through November. The first gathering, on Thursday, June 15, from 5 to 7 p.m., will be at Checkerspot Brewing Co., 1399 S. Sharp St. in Baltimore. Veterans and their families can enjoy a complimentary craft beer while learning about AARP Maryland’s initiatives to support family caregivers, prevent fraud and assist veterans seeking new careers.

Maryland is home to about 333,000 veterans. AARP has a free, twice-monthly veterans newsletter, which offers practical help on health, money, work and benefits. Sign up at aarp.org/home-family/voices/veterans and scroll down to AARP Veteran Report.
