Komen's breast cancer research.  Learn more at https://www.manduka.com/pages/projectom

There you are at the airport, boarding pass in hand, bags checked.  All that lies between you and your dream vacation is the security checkpoint.  The TSA officer takes a look at your driver’s license and shakes her head.  No.  You can’t go any further.  Why not?  Because you never obtained a REAL ID.  Beginning Oct. 2021, REAL ID’s will be required for all domestic airline travel as mandated by the REAL ID Act of 2005.  

What is a REAL ID and where do you go to get one?  What documentation do you need to have?  What is the purpose of this ID change?  Will it be safer?  Join us as a representative from AAA answers these questions and more.  This free online meeting can provide the information you need to get you started.  Contact mpl_mail@clamsnet.org or call us at 508-539-1435 to register.
