RSVP of Santa Rosa County and Santa Rosa Medical Center are seeking vendors for the 2018 Senior Expo and Health Fair
Attention Santa Rosa County businesses and community service groups! It is time to reserve your space at the 2018 Senior Expo and Health Fair to be held at the Guy Thompson Community Center. The Expo and Health Fair will be held March 15th from 8 a.m. to noon and spaces will be going fast, so don’t hesitate in being a part of this outstanding event.
This year’s Expo and Health Fair will be broken down to two parts with members of the Santa Rosa Medical Center staff offering FREE health screenings and information on specific health issues currently facing seniors.
While this is going on, YOU, can be one of the local businesses and community organizations designed to help serve older residents in the Santa Rosa, Escambia, and Okaloosa county areas.
Your booth spaces can be used in a variety of ways to hand out information, meet seniors face to face, or give out items that can assist seniors in their daily lives. Also you can do your own special giveaway, which would be a great way to get names and contact information regarding future customers.
This year’s the Senior Expo and Health Fair is hosted by the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, City of Milton, and Woodmen Life and is supported by Santa Rosa Medical Center, but more sponsorship opportunities remain if your company or organization would like to take a more active/leadership role in this annual event.
For more information about the Senior Expo and Health Fair contact Faye Henry with the Retired Senior Volunteer Program at 983-5220.

For example, a senior may want to mentor or tutor children, assist victims of natural disasters, clean up the environment, lead fundraising efforts, food sorting, providing hungry children a nutritious easy to prepare meal, or many other possibilities. Whatever a volunteer chooses to do, they will be making a difference – stronger families, better schools, and safer communities. With RSVP, volunteers will se tangible outcomes and learn first-hand how their contributions can change their community. When you volunteer, you are not just helping others, you are helping yourself. Volunteering leads to new discoveries and new friends. Plus, studies show that volunteering helps you live longer and promotes a positive outlook on life.
