AARP Smart DriverTM â?? The driving refresher course from AARP Driver Safety Program will be offered at the Beaver Island Community Center from 9:30am to 5:30pm upstairs in the Hangout on Tuesday, September 19, 2017 by George Robson, a certified volunteer instructor.

Many participants may be eligible for a multi-year insurance discount after taking the course. Participants are encouraged to check with their own insurance agent to see if they are eligible. There are no tests required to pass the course.

The course is open to drivers of all ages and costs $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. Payment by cash or check only will be required on the date of the course at check-in. Checks should be made payable to AARP.

BTW, even if you did not pre-register, you are welcome to join us for this valuable 'refresher' course! Just show up at the BIC Center by 9:300am Tuesday morning, September 19. Many who have taken this course elsewhere have reported that they learned new things they really utilized and needed to pay attention to.

Hope to see you!
