Streets within two blocks of the Bethel Park Community Center were lined with cars on April 11.

Like airplanes circling an airport waiting for a landing place, cars cruised the parking lot, searching for a coveted parking space close to the entrance door. Once inside, there was a flurry of activity in the crowded hall, resembling bees on a honeycomb, with Seniors flitting from table to table.
About 40 exhibitors from non-profit and profit corporations and government agencies were there to educate the Seniors on what services and products are available to them. Health screenings and many door prizes were offered. Seniors exiting the Expo could be seen lugging large bags full of informative pamphlets and brochures.
The event was co-sponsored and attended by PA Representative Saccone (39th District) and PA Senator Guy Reschenthaler (37th District). Organization and planning duties were provided by Char Tibbitt, Saccone’s District Office Manager, and Stacey Reibach, Reschenthaler’s Director of Community Outreach.
