Senior Summit returns — Event celebrates the Give Back Generation
Lake County seniors and elders will be honored at a special event that recognizes their services and many societal contributions at the 5th Annual Senior Summit. Online registration is required for the one-of-akind event at www.lakecountysilverfoundation. org. For help with registration, call 916-2480704.
On May 6 at the Twin Pine Resort & Casino Event Center in Middletown, the Lake County Silver Foundation will again host the Summit — an event featuring Inspirational
Senior Awards, a Health and Wellness Faire, speakers, a complimentary lunch, raffles and more. Seniors are encouraged to register early to secure their place for the event. “The last time we held the Summit at Twin Pine, walk-ins had to be turned away,” said event organizer Olga Steele.
“Thanks to Lake County sponsors we are able to host the event at no charge to seniors,” said Founder and President of the Silver Foundation, Jim Steele.
The Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake have been Major Sponsors since inception. Voted best hospital in Lake and Mendocino Counties, Sutter Lakeside Hospital also signed on this year as a major sponsor and will be on hand at the event to take part in the Health and Wellness Faire.
“We want to thank all sponsors,” Steele said. “CalPine and The Sheppers, for instance, have been regular contributors since the beginning.”
In addition to the Health and Wellness Fair, a central and popular feature of the event are the Inspirational Senior awards. This year, 13 seniors — nominated by their peers — will be honored.
The Lake County Silver Foundation was formed to improve the quality of life for seniors and raise awareness of the many gaps in services. “The needs of the fastest growing demographic in Lake County, the State and the Nation are also growing,” said Steele. “The Summit is one way we can thank and bring services to Lake County seniors and elders.”
Summit doors open at 11 AM and the program begins promptly at 12 noon. For more information about the Senior Summit visit the website, lakecountysilverfoundation.com or call 916-248-0704.
