Alexian Brothers Senior Ministries to Host AARP Safe Drivers Class at Senior Neighbors Tuesday, June 22

The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation's first and largest refresher course of its kind. Many insurance companies offer a discount to those who complete the course. Course participants should check with their insurance company to learn if a discount is available.

The course will cover a variety of important topics, including how seniors can enhance their driving skills and update their knowledge on current rules of the road. Attendees will learn how they can reduce their risks of receiving traffic violations, crashes and chances for injuries.

Attendees are asked to bring a bag lunch. The cost to attend is $12 for AARP members and $14 for nonmembers. Call (423) 755-6100 to register.
