— from Ed Wilson, OIMC —
Attention, drivers age 50 and over! Orcas Senior Center and Orcas Medical Foundation are co-sponsoring a one-day AARP Smart Driver Course on Wednesday, November 5, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., that AARP says can save you money on maintenance and car insurance costs.
According to Marla Johns of the Senior Center and Susan McBain of the Medical Foundation, the AARP course will take place entirely indoors at the Orcas Senior Center, in a classroom, and there is no driving involved.
The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. An optional lunch can be pre-ordered for $5. To register and order lunch, call (360) 376-2677.
All who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion. Enrollment will be limited to 30 participants.
“No driving involved and no tests to pass!” said Susan McBain.
AARP points out that the amount of insurance savings is up to each individual insurance company.
