Join AARP Montana for Tele-Town Hall Tuesdays!

On the third Tuesday of most months at 10 AM, experts will share information on a variety of topics, such as caregiving, fraud, estate planning, healthy eating, brain health and more. 

“We know from surveys that these topics are among the top concerns of Montanans 50-plus,” said Tim Summers, AARP Montana State Director. “AARP is here to serve as a resource, and we are pleased to offer these live, interactive events throughout 2024 via the Tele-Town Hall format.” 

You will join thousands of Montanans across the state during these live events, you can also pose your questions directly to our experts. These important calls are available for anyone regardless of whether they're an AARP member or not. 

On event days, AARP Montana will call members across the state just before 10:00 AM to invite you to participate in the live Tele-Town Hall. 

To join the live event, you only need to stay on the line when we call!

Additional ways you can participate:

• If you don’t receive a call, you may dial toll-free at 10 AM on the 3^rd Tuesday of each month — find toll-free phone numbers below each date.
• You may stream the call live at fb.com/AARPMontana.
• Those unable to join the live events can listen to the recorded call on AARP Montana’s Facebook page at fb.com/AARPMontana. 

“The Tele-Town Hall format has many advantages, not the least of which is the convenience for the participants who don't have to leave home or carve time out of their schedule to head down to a traditional meeting,” said Nancy Andersen, AARP Montana Director of Outreach. “There’s no worrying about driving time, the weather or other conflicts -- Montanans can just pick up the phone at home and instantly join the event to hear directly from subject matter experts on a variety of topics.”
