How to resolve AdBlock issue? The summit, a special day dedicated to Lake County seniors and elders, will be held at Twin Pine Casino and Hotel Event Center in Middletown from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Entry is free to seniors age 60 and over.
The popular event has exceeded expectations in prior years, organizers said.
“We are planning for 250,” said event organizer Olga Martin Steele. “We can add a few more but we are asking folks to pre-register by April 19 to ensure we have enough food and seats.”
Online registration is the best way to sign up but those who prefer can register by calling 707-998-1302. Another way to register is by filling out paper applications, which will be available at most senior centers in the county.
The theme for the third annual summit is health and wellness. The Silver Foundation has again partnered with Hospice Services of Lake County, which is taking reservations for the vendor fair booths.
“We’ll have 25 booths with information to help us stay healthy in our silver years. Every booth will be loaded with useful information you must have,” said Foundation Board member Gene Paleno.
Those interested in reserving a booth should contact Kristy Weiss of Hospice Services at 707-263-6270, Extension 112, or
“The event will feature a fabulous lunch, entertainment by the Clearlake Clikkers and the Mendo-Lake Singers, information booths, raffles every 30 minutes, Inspirational Senior Awards, a keynote speaker and more,” said Silver Foundation founder and president, Jim Steele. “And for those who enjoy a game of chance, the event hosts, the Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians, are throwing in some free play to boot.”
“I attended the first and second summits. It’s just wonderful to see our silver generation treated with such honor and respect,” said Rae Eby-Carl, also a foundation board member said. “I will be at the registration desk along with other volunteers to greet everyone that comes through the door. I can’t wait to see all the familiar faces as well as newcomers.”
Inspired by seniors for seniors, the day is one of a kind.
“There’s nothing else like this in Lake County,” said Jim Steele. “One of the event highlights is when we give out the Inspirational Senior Awards. It gives you a sense of how much seniors have done for, and given back to, the community.”
