County Civic Center for the annual Ideas for Life Senior Expo, last
Wednesday. Vendors offered information on health services, housing
placement, medical alert systems, assisted living, home improvement and
much more.
“The expo is designed for seniors who want to

have been on a mission to educate and advocate for the needs of the
region’s aging community.More ...
