LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus will present a mini-expo that will focus on tips for seniors for living a healthy, active lifestyle, in Kingfield on April 20.
The Franklin County Aging Well Mini-Expo will offer workshops and the opportunity for social interaction for older adults, and will be from 8:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at Kingfield Elementary School. The event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required by calling SeniorsPlus at 800-427-1241.
Attendees can choose to attend two of six workshops, which include “Protect your Windows computer from malware,” “Falls prevention in your home,” “Nutrition on a budget,” “Know the 10 signs of Alzheimer’s: early detection matters,” “Tai Chi for health,” and “Grief, loss and bereavement.”
The mini-expo is building on the success of the organization’s fall expo, which was held at Sunday River, said Betsy Sawyer-Manter, president and CEO of SeniorsPlus. She said the organization decided to also offer the opportunity to those who live farthest away from Sunday River.
“Franklin County Aging Well Mini-Expo offers attendees a chance to explore ways to live healthier and more safely, as well as to socialize and connect with others nearby,” she said.
The event will begin with a welcome address by Holly Zielinski, director of community services at SeniorsPlus, and breakfast provided by the Orange Cat Café. During breaks, participants may check out exhibitors’ booths displaying information about Franklin County-area services.
