Enjoy the leisure and lifestyle

THE Annual Seniors Leisure and Lifestyle Expo will be held at the Senior Citizens Association, Albert Street, Warwick, on Thursday 20 August at 9.30am.
This year is the ninth Annual Seniors Leisure and Lifestyle Expo.
It was initiated and developed by aged care students at Warwick TAFE as part of their assessment and training.
As things changed with the TAFE system and a community development officer was appointed at the council and it was decided that a working party be set up by the council.
This evolved with members from service organisations that provide services to seniors and also some volunteers who were passionate about services for seniors.
Organisations including Warwick TAFE, Queensland Health, Queensland Police, Warwick Senior Citizens Association, WIRAC, Akooramak and The Oaks have been members of the working party over the years.
The commitment of the working party has been to deliver an interesting and vibrant expo that provides information for people over 55 years old about what services are available but also what fun and recreation organisations are available.
The focus really is as much on leisure as it is about lifestyle.
Living a vibrant life is very important – it is not just about living aids and health services.
This year some of the organisations attending the expo will be Rose City Writers, Warwick Spinners and Weavers, U3A Warwick, Public Trustee of Queensland, National Hearing Care, to name just a few.
There will plenty to see and do and there will be 200 sample bags of goodies to give away to the first 200 people who are first through the door.
Come along and find out what is in them and gain information from the many and varied stall holders who will be attending.
