On Friday, March 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Boothbay Region Community Resource Council will host an AARP Driver Safety Class at the LincolnHealth Campus, Wellness Conference Room, 6 St. Andrews Lane, Boothbay Harbor.

This class was developed by the AARP in 1979 as a driver refresher course especially designed to meet the needs of older drivers. It covers such issues as age-related physical changes, declining perceptual skills, local driving problems, license renewal requirements, and much more. It is designed to remind the mature members of our community of the skills and techniques that we may have once learned and of the changes that occur in ourselves, our cars and the roads.

Class participation is strongly encouraged so that we may share our experiences. All participants who successfully complete the course may be eligible for a reduction in their automobile insurance premiums. The class size is limited to the first 20 community members (age 50 and above) who register.

The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. There is a half-hour break scheduled for your brown bag lunch. To reserve your seat call the Community Resource Council at 633-6272.
