The Parade of Senior Services was a great success. My contacts were the Senior Center on 8th ave, they did a great job. It was free to seniors 55+ and they came. The doors were open from 10am till 2pm, by 10;30 the room was packed with visitor’s. At first they projected 50 agencies would exhibit, I am sure it exceeded that number. I was not disappointed with the crowd. I gave out hundreds of my newspapers. It was held at the College of Central Florida. I was impressed by the Colleges staff, they were well dressed, very organized, friendly and very helpful. I’ll do it again next year. Information given out was about Marion County’s programs and services that included City, County, state and federal government services, health care, social services and more!
