Plans are underway for the 12th annual Customers Bank Senior Expo, which benefits Berks Encore. This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 9am to 3pm at The Body Zone Sports and Wellness Complex, 3103 Paper Mill Rd., Wyomissing.
Last year more than 4,000 adults over the age of 50 attended the Customers Bank Senior Expo, which is the largest and most successful of its kind in the Berks, Lancaster and Lebanon county areas. More than 120 vendors are anticipated to be available to demonstrate and discuss their products and services during this free event.
Because parking at the Body Zone Sports and Wellness Complex is strictly limited to those with handicapped placards and vendors, there is alternative parking at the VF Outlet lot off Park Road, behind TGI Friday’s. There will be a continuous shuttle bus service running from the VF Outlet lot and the Body Zone through the day.
Wheelchairs will be available in The Body Zone Sports and Wellness Complex lobby, courtesy of InHome Oxygen.
Berks Encore is also looking for volunteers to assist with the event. For info about the event or on how to volunteer, please call 610.374.3195, ext. 206.
