2017 Special Events
Multicultural Senior Health Fair
An informational fair providing a variety of resources for senior adults and their families. In addition there are free health screenings for senior adults and presentations on health related topics. We have interpreters at the fair to assist senior adults with language barriers. There are healthy snacks for the participants along with the opportunity to win door prizes. Around 200 seniors come to the health fair each year.
Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon
NESCO’s opportunity to thank our volunteers who donate their time and talents throughout the course of the year. There is entertainment along with a free meal for the volunteers to enjoy.
Black Tie Bingo
A night to get dolled up and play bingo. There are appetizers, a cash bar, $100 cash prize for each game, as well as a silent auction. We play 10 games of bingo, and also have door prizes given out between each game.
Summer Concert Series
A community event for all ages on Monday evenings in June and July. This event brings together seniors adults, families, and local residents and provides them with an opportunity to enjoy free, high quality musical entertainment. Over 2,500 people come to enjoy this music each year.
Come Together Party
An event to bring together 125 of our African American and Latino program participants for a night of entertainment, food, and learning about one another’s cultures. One goal of our cultural diversity programs is to reduce isolation by identifying barriers that prevent Latino and African American seniors from accessing community services and assists in removing these obstacles.
AppleFest
NESCO’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The day includes raffles/drawings, live music and dance performances, used book/CD/DVD sale, children’s carnival, apples for sale, bake sale, and a fully loaded snack bar. It is a community-supported event and is attended by over 1,500 people of all ages.
