The Senior Alliance will present Senior Resources: At Your Fingertips as part of the Prestige 55 lecture series. Seven broad areas have been developed as topics for presenters, based on our Resource Directory. An updated directory will be given to each participant for reference.
Members are invited to have a vendor table to distribute helpful literature. If you have about 100 collateral pieces to share, please get them to Marion Senior Services (attn: Betty Green) between Jan 23-27. Below is the tentative line-up of speakers:
Introduction – Gail Cross, Past President
Welcome – Richard Mitchell, President
Basic Needs – Sarah Stroh, Marion Senior Services
Long Term Care – John Spang, Visiting Angels/Marty Roberson, The Windsor of Ocala
Veteran’s Administration – Daisy Diaz, Supervisor, Marion County Veterans' Services
Refreshments/Break
Medicare/Medicaid – Elder Options Rep and SHINE Coordinator/Volunteer
Legal Matters/End of Life Planning – Colleen Duris and Lila Ivey
Safety and Security – Donna Guinn, Victim Witness Advocate, Ocala Police Department
Support Resources – Elder Options Rep and Florida Center for the Blind Rep
If you wish to have a rep there to man your table, we welcome that. The more members and visitors we have the better. Prestige 55 events are always well-attended, so please help support this outreach effort.
Those over 60 who live in Marion County are in strong company. One-third of the county’s population is in that group, creating buying power and wielding influence.
