Special Events

LifeStream is pleased to offer several special events each year that not only enhance social opportunities for our seniors and people with disabilities but which also provide some much-needed funding support for programming.

For example, we offer:

Active Aging Week and Senior Games (see Senior Games reference below) – This event is set for Sept. 6-12 and will get under way with a 5K Fun Walk/Run in Yorktown. See our registration brochure for details.

Aging Well Conference – This event is offered each May during Older Americans Month. The next conference will be May 14, 2009, in Muncie. Last year's conference was sold out, so early registrations are encouraged. Sponsorships are currently available for this event.

Annual Awards Luncheon – Our volunteers and those who go above and beyond to help aging adults and people with disabilities are honored each June during our annual awards luncheon. Our next one will be in June 2009 in Muncie. AngelWorx volunteers are invited as our special guests and do not have to pay for this event. For details or to reserve your spot, email our marketing and communications director.

Caregiver Classes – Our caregiver program manager offers special classes called Powerful Tools as well as American Red Cross Caregiver classes and other educational events to help caregivers be the best they can be. Our program also sponsors monthly support groups to help caregivers. Contact our caregiver program manager for details.

Nutrition Awareness Month – Each March we participate in the national Nutrition Awareness Month activities, including have a special nutrition day at all our Senior Cafes. For more information, contact our nutrition manager for details.

Senior Day at the Fair – LifeStream sponsors Senior Day at the Fair at several of our area fairs. These special days offer seniors an opportunity to be entertained, play bingo and enjoy special refreshments or meals.
