St. Mary AARP annual goodie bag project

St. Mary AARP members 80 and older recently received bags filled with goodies as part of St. Mary AARP’s annual goodie bag project funded by three sponsors. Jarrod Longman, an AARP annual sponsor, has supported the project for the past four years. More than 240 bags were hand delivered in the Tri-City area and east as far as Houma and west as far as Franklin.
