The 9th annual MaineStreamers "Swing into Spring" Senior Expo will be held on April 24 from 9 AM to 2 PM at the Golf Mill Shopping Center in Niles.
Guests who attend the Maine Township MaineStreamers"Swing into Spring" Senior Expo scheduled for Friday, April 24, 2014, at Golf Mill Shopping Center will have the chance to take home their own unique souvenir of this ninth annual senior expo.
Designed to link seniors who need services with vendors who provide them, the event’s overall extended hours will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The variety of exhibits has been expanded, new programming and entertainment will be provided, and Expo staff is preparing to host an enthusiastic and record crowd of approximately 1,600 visitors 55 years old up who are interested in a wide variety of products and services.
Many Illinois state, Cook County and regional agencies such as the RTA, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, and others will join approximately 50 commercial exhibitors expected to be on hand; featuring displays from senior housing, health, financial services, and other providers of products and services that benefit older Americans.
Also, Maine Township's Highway Department, Clerk's Office, Assessor's Office, General Assistance, and, of course, the MaineStreamers will be exhibiting.
The Expo promises to be a fun and beneficial event for all who attend. Last year's event was a huge success, with approximately 1,500 seniors attending to take advantage of health screenings, raffles, entertainment, exhibits and informative presentations.
