The Plano Senior Recreation Center invites older adults to participate in the Senior Information & Wellness Fair on Wednesday, May 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Plano Senior Recreation Center, 401 West 16th Street in Harrington Park, hosts this annual celebration in observance with May being National Older Americans Month (OAM).  This is a time to focus on issues facing this group and appreciate the contributions they are still making in the world.  The 2016 OAM theme is “Blaze a Trail.”

The purpose of the Senior Information & Wellness Fair is to provide a wealth of information for those of retirement and pre-retirement age to enhance their ability to plan for the future. There will be over 50 vendors providing senior living options, financial planning, funeral pre-planning, senior moving services, insurance options, and personal care services.

City staff will also be on hand with fire safety tips (Plano Fire-Rescue) and personal safety tips (Plano Police). Those who attend the fair receive free chair massages, and can have free screenings for hearing, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, depression and fall-prevention.

Encourage the older people in your life to attend the Senior Fair and to always be a trailblazer. The event is free and open to everyone. For more information please call 972-941-7155.
