Every community has something that makes it special. Maybe it’s friendly neighbors, nearby parks, local restaurants, walkability, or simply a sense of belonging. What do you enjoy most about where you live? Share what makes your community feel like home.

Hi everyone,I'm relatively new to these community forums, so please bear with me as I figure things out!I’m curious how many of us are over 50 and still working a full-time job during the week. With a full-time schedule, finding time for social activities, hobbies, or meeting new people usually gets squeezed into my weekends along with house/yardwork and errands.Since I'm based in the Brighton, Michigan area, I was wondering what kind of weekend activities, events, or local AARP chapters have available nearby that actually fit into a working person's schedule?If you're still working full-time, how do you balance your weekends, and have you found any good local weekend AARP events that keep you connected?
