SENIOR EXPO—Milam County Triad Senior Expo will be held from 8 a.m. to 12-noon Oct. 16 at Rockdale KC Hall.
This event is a great opportunity for businesses and organizations to provide insight, expertise, and solutions for aging adults and their caregivers.
This year the Senior Expo committee will be putting together a resource guide that will be distributed in Milam County.
Two thousand, five hundred eight-by-eleven guides will be printed and given out.
The information in the guide will help citizens in the county with a multitude of resources including where to get rides to and from places, nutrition and meal assistance, medical care.
There will be many other resources and helpful information.
We are asking for vendors for our booths this year for the Senior Expo, with a small fee which will include advertisement in the resource guide.
The fees include:
• Quarter-page and booth space, $55.
• Half-page and booth space, $100.
• Full page and booth space, $200.
These same fees also apply if you would only like to have an advertisement in the resource guide and not a booth.
Deadline to submit for advertisement and a booth is Aug. 15.
This is an amazing opportunity for businesses and organizations to help with promoting their resources to the aging adults and their caregivers.
