José José—AARP Spokesperson…
These days, one of José José's most visible means
of giving back to his beloved Hispanic community is in his role as AARP
spokesperson. It's a role he clearly relishes, and one that has been
a smashing success thus far. Last fall, the singer was swamped with
well-wishers when he appeared in an East Los Angeles parade. And fans-both
Hispanic and non-Hispanic, eager for the singer's autograph-nearly crushed
the AARP Segunda Juventud booth at the AARP Annual Member Event
in San Diego.
"It's great to meet with the people and be near
them. I really want to spread the word in the community about what a
marvelous organization AARP is," says the singer.
José José is especially thrilled for the opportunity
to speak in Spanish on behalf of AARP. He notes, "A lot of times, even
people who have been here many years, still don't speak English. People
need to know what they can do with their money, how they can be healthy
and useful when they retire. AARP can help them have a terrific life
after 50."
