Calling all Picton seniors
Calling all Picton seniors – you are invited to come along to an upcoming expo based on the successful Blenheim-based annual event
Nau mai, haere mai – welcome to the inaugural Picton Seniors’ Expo.
Building on the success of the annual Blenheim-based event, Council’s Community Partnerships team are bringing the seniors’ expo format to Picton’s Port Marlborough Endeavour Park Pavilion for the first time on Tuesday 12 November.
Community Partnerships Advisor Jodie Griffiths said the Picton event, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, was aimed at older people in the Picton and Sounds community to help them find out more about services and activities for seniors.
Council’s library and customer services staff will also be on hand as well as the Marlborough Community Vehicle Trust, Picton Flower Ladies, Churchill Trust, Age Concern Marlborough, Grey Power Marlborough, Marlborough Community Law, Hone Hato St John and more. “It’s a trial run for us in Picton and we are really pleased with the support from stall holders with around thirty-five different stands signed up for the expo. There will be performance, homemade scones from Marina Cove with complimentary tea and coffee and entry is free,” Ms Griffiths said.
