Treats & Tips, Not Tricks at Day of Discovery Annual Outreach Forum in South Brunswick

Treats for adults include free lunches, door prizes and handouts, as well as plenty of useful information.

When you include free lunches, door prizes and handouts - add Imagination Stations with “In a Kaleidoscope;”  discover new ways the sight impaired can access a web site with the DeVry University “Geek Squad;” learn about the role recipes play in, “Continuing Cultural Conversation” and story telling in, “Living Legacies,”  the day becomes a maze of unusual participatory experiences.

This year's annual Aging in Place PARTNERSHIP Outreach Forum falling on the Halloween weekend provides a great opportunity to engage parents and the older population in a wide variety of exploration sessions that are fun and informative, and take home their own “Trick or Treat” bag of goodies.

Throughout the day at resource tables and exhibits, service providers will provide information ranging from Accessibility, Health, Wellness and Safety, Housing and Home Maintenance, Cultural Events and Programs; Transportation to Money Matters.

The morning panel will feature experts helping South Brunswick to create a, “seamless mobility plan,” to address the Transportation challenges the township faces.  Afternoon round table discussions offer everyone the chance to voice their concerns, raise questions and make suggestions. Emphasis is on participation.
