Save those questions for answers that we will present at the March 7 DSEA-Retired presentations from each of the above groups. DSEA- Retired has made arrangements for an expert from each group to make a brief presentation and answer questions. They will each also have a table with information. So mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 7, 12 noon to 5 p.m., at Dover Downs. Presentations will be made in the Chesapeake, Delaware and Silver Lake meeting rooms. One of the meeting rooms will be designated as a room with "vendor" tables. Each of the presenting organizations mentioned above will have a table with additional infor- mation or brochures from their pre- sentations. There will also be additional "vendors" in attendance, all of which will be for seniors and retirees. At the present time, but not confirmed, we are working to get representatives from Modern Maturity Center (Kent County), Delaware Senior Olympics, Delaware Division of Services for Aging & Adults with Physical Disabilities, and Senior Citizens Affordable Taxi (or SCAT from DART First State). We are also working on having medical screen- ers available. Many of you requested DSEA- Retired to have something like this in the past. We are trying it this year and hope that you will plan to attend. There is no charge for DSEA-Retired or active members.
