Description
This extraordinary event will give you the opportunity to encounter exciting services, ideas, and resources available for your active, healthy, independent lifestyle! Nowhere else in Vancouver can you find one place that provides such an array of business and non-profit agencies that have the information you need as a Vancouver/Portland resident over 50. This is also a wonderful opportunity for individuals and families to gather information for their parents and grandparents, and still walk away with some beneficial information for them.
Expect to see over 140 exhibits, free health screenings, prizes and interactive activities. Exhibits will include experts in volunteerism, health and fitness, technology, travel, financial planning, health care, fitness, nutrition, retirement planning, communities, health insurance benefits and resources information, home remodelling, community resources, education, disaster preparedness and much more. This year you can once again try your luck to win the luxury cruise to Alaska, our Grand Prize courtesy of USA River Cruises & Sunshine Travel. A suggested $3 donation at the door helps to support the Retired and Senior Volunteer program (RSVP).
For 38 years RSVP has recruited, screened and matched volunteers with opportunities to give their time to benefit 200+ agencies throughout the county. Volunteers are referred to local schools, museums, hospitals, libraries, civic offices, clinics, charitable organizations and many others. RSVP is part of Volunteer Connections, which also sponsors the SHIBA HelpLine Program, AmeriCorps VISTA, the Volunteer Mobilization Center, America Reads tutoring program and the Pen-pal Project.
