On Saturday, Nov. 17 Spectrum Generations is offering an AARP Safe Driver Course at the CLC YMCA, 525 Main St., Damariscotta. The course hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

All participants who have had a clean driving record for the past three years must receive a discount on their car insurance, as mandated by state law. Check with your insurer. The class must be taken every three years to maintain this discount. 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, 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.

Class size is limited to the first 15 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 or eat at the nearby Subway. To reserve your seat, call Spectrum Generations at 563-1363 ext 3.
