Join us to learn about how you can modify your home for safety and comfort with this AARP-sponsored program.

The goal of this presentation is to educate participants on home updates that can make it easier for them to go about their daily activities while staying comfortable, independent, and injury-free in their home. 

The presenter, John Pritchett, retired in 2022 after a distinguished forty-year career in government service, which included two decades in the Navy, followed by another twenty years in the intelligence community. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Mississippi and a master’s degree in military art and science from the United States Army Command and General Staff College. Since retirement, John has authored ten books, including science fiction novels and a series of children’s books. He is also active in his community, volunteering for AARP and serving as a master financial educator for Prince William County. John and his wife, Dawn, live in Lake Ridge, Virginia.
