Connections Expo

Description

Are you an empty nester? Thinking about retirement? Looking for resources and opportunities for parents? All ages are welcome to attend the Connections Expo, scheduled for Sunday May 18th from 11 am to 4 pm, at the Vancouver Hilton Convention Center, 301 W 6th Street in Vancouver. 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 nonprofit agencies that have the information you need as a Vancouver/Portland resident over 50. Visitors are invited to enter to win a Grand Prize trip courtesy of AAA Washington, relax to the beautiful melodies of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, take advantage of free health screenings, say hello to Rojo the therapy llama, and visit the 130+ exhibits featuring information and hands on activities about travel, recreation, health, nutrition, housing, finances, health resources, and more. You'll also want to plan your day around our ‘A Community In Service' Fashion Shows presented by b. divine Clothing Boutique (12:30), Sportsman's Warehouse (1:30) and All Natural Pet Supply with Columbia River Pet Partners (2:30). This event is presented by the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and The Messenger. RSVP is a program of the Human Services Council.
