After hosting a very successful Senior Fair in Carpentersville earlier this month, State Senator Don DeWitte (R-St. Charles) will host a second resource event geared toward the needs of seniors on September 19 in St. Charles.
“Attendance at the Senior Fair at the Rakow Center in Carpentersville exceeded all expectations, and it is clear that seniors are looking for the kind of information we have available at these fairs,” said DeWitte. “Bringing together dozens of groups that cater to the needs of older Illinoisans and having them all under one roof provides quick and easy access to information that is extremely beneficial to our seniors. It’s a pleasure to host these valuable events.”

Flu shots, blood pressure checks, and other free health screenings will be available, and those who attend can also learn about alternative ways to lead a happier and healthier lifestyle. A variety of local vendors will also be on hand to discuss programs and services that benefit seniors. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
“This is a great opportunity for seniors, their families, and their caregivers to learn about services that are available in this region,” added DeWitte. “If you are a senior, care for a senior, or love a senior, you won’t want to miss this comprehensive fair.”
