Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I’m delighted to invite you to my annual Older Adult Resource Fair next Friday, May 30th from 10am - 2pm in Downtown Brooklyn at St. Francis College’s NEW  location, 179 Livingston Street. You can speak with a fabulous array of non-profit groups and government agencies that provide cultural events, legal services, housing resources, social activities, and more. 

There will also be dental, hearing and prostate screenings. The resource fair will also feature groups that can provide you with information about public benefits to help you buy groceries, freeze your rent, or reduce your Medicare costs. Too often, older adults miss opportunities to receive public benefits simply because they are unaware of their eligibility. I want to ensure that you know about the benefits you have earned throughout your life.

The fair will also include a Town Hall at 1pm on “Staying Connected” to one another and activities that bring us joy. You will hear from various speakers, and there will be time for questions and answers. 

Here is a link to my recent newsletter, which includes a list of housing resources, local adult centers, continuing education resources, employment & volunteer opportunities and much more.  Please let my office know if you would like a copy mailed to you: [email protected].

In honor of Memorial Day, I want to remember and reflect on all those who gave their lives in service to our country.  Our freedoms endure because of their extraordinary bravery and sacrifice.

I look forward to seeing you next week!

Sincerely, 

Jo Anne Simon
