Expo responds to need identified through community survey
The Adult Recreation Expo grew from the work of a Recreation Commission subcommittee on older adult programming. After reviewing existing activities throughout Piedmont, as well as nearly 500 responses to a community survey, the subcommittee identified lack of knowledge about existing opportunities as a primary barrier to connecting adults with the activities they were interested in. The Expo hopes to bridge this gap.
The Adult Recreation Expo is made possible through the initiative of volunteers Dick Carter and Lisa Gardner, both members of Piedmont’s Recreation Commission.
