How We Got To Today
The Northside AARP Community Group’s history goes back to 1982 when a group of seniors got together and formed an AARP Chapter, Lakeview East Chapter #4178 and was chaired by the founding member Sitha Pugh and Beverly Stormont. We work now, as they did then, to enhance the lives of 50+ adults by providing opportunities for learning and social interaction. At this time, we are the only AARP related group on Chicago’s north side. Throughout our history, we have been active in education on topics of interest to seniors: current affairs, community projects, voter education/voter enrollment and health care. In the chapter’s early years we participated in the formation of the senior housing building, Ruth Shirman House. We also focus on the social interaction and engagement aspect of the lives of seniors with events such as neighborhood beautification, musical presentations, day trips and just sharing a meal together. The membership stayed together and formed other types of AARP chapters until today as the Northside AARP Community Group.
