On November 15th, The VHA held our second annual Health and Wellness Expo. What an enormous success it was for our residents and sponsors! Our sponsors were thrilled to have active and positive engagement with residents. Our residents were able to get information from multiple sources at one location.
The speaker series breakout rooms were at capacity. The topics were on target for the demographic we were trying to reach. The speakers were all thrilled with the interaction.
We may have had a minor problem or two. Parking was an issue for those arriving late. The noise was a problem with so many interested residents seeking knowledge. I would have been concerned about an empty parking lot. I would have been more concerned about no noise around our sponsor booths. I could not be happier to report these two issues. We will work to shuttle folks arriving late to another parking lot at our 2025 event. We have also reserved more space at the Rohan Recreation Center.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our residents who took part in our Expo. It is important to be concerned with Quality of Life – particularly yours! I would also like to thank all our sponsors for participating in our 2024 Health and Wellness Expo. Without the sponsorship and resident participation, I would not be able to report the remarkable success.
Follow our activities throughout the year for the distribution of funds to those in need in the community. Mark your new calendar for November 21, 2025, as the date for the next Health and Wellness Expo provided by The VHA.
