The Piedmont Recreation Department is seeking local organizations, activity groups, or classes that offer recreational, educational, or social programs for adults to showcase their offerings at Piedmont’s first Adult Recreation Expo. The Expo will take place on Sunday, Nov. 17 from 2 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Piedmont Veterans Memorial Building.
The Expo aims to bring together the myriad of adult recreational activities available in Piedmont under a single roof, allowing community members to explore, compare, and ask questions of organizers.
Register to exhibit by Oct. 18
Local organizations are encouraged to join the Piedmont Recreation Department, Piedmont Adult School, Piedmont Center for the Arts, and Piedmont League of Women Voters in showcasing their programs at the event.
Groups interested in exhibiting should email AdultRecreationExpo@piedmont.ca.gov to sign up:
• There is no cost to participate.
• Expo organizers will provide a table and chairs. Exhibitors will be responsible for providing displays or materials to distribute.
• Exhibitors should plan to have two representatives present at their table for the full event.
• Organizers request that exhibitors announce the event to their members.
The deadline to register is October 18, 2024.
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 by the support of volunteers Dick Carter and Lisa Gardner, both members of Piedmont’s Recreation Commission. For more information about the event and a list of participating organizations, visit piedmont.ca.gov/AdultExpo.
