Transportation is being provided at no cost for those who will need a ride to the centre.
Lunch also is being provided at no cost.
When they register, people will be asked their name and phone number, and to indicate if they need a ride or not.
Those who need transportation will be called back so that pick-up arrangements can be made.
A very interesting day is being planned, beginning with participants being welcomed at 9 a.m. with a wholesome coffee break.
A presentation on seniors and medication will be offered at 10 a.m., followed by one on wills, estate planning, and power of attorney at 11 a.m.
Following lunch, there will be a presentation on seniors and mental health and one on nutrition for seniors.
Each participant will receive a grab bag and attendance prizes will be drawn throughout the day.
In addition, everyone will receive a copy of the Seniors’ Community Directory which is being developed.
Funding for the seniors’ fair, and development of the directory, was obtained by the Sister Kennedy Centre through a grant from the Ontario Seniors Secretariat.
