4/6/26 I think this is interesting how someone created this "Reply To" about a current day sporting event. I think it's good for older people to engage and keep up on current events. I plan on showing my in laws who are both in their 80s how to use the AARP App and what benefits they will get from it. They just got new Iphones, Ipads and Apple Watches. I think the AARP App is a great tool to keep their minds going and gives them many opportunities to learn, play, and explore new things from the comfort of their home. AND MY PICKBF

The person that created the post was AARPs Community Manager, who works for them.

The picks ended March 20, but seems to be a lot of people posting after the date it ended.
