GLENDALE HEIGHTS – Roughly 100 DuPage County senior citizens were able to access helpful resources and meet with service providers during a senior resource fair hosted by State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) on Tuesday.

“I am glad to help area seniors navigate the sometimes complicated web of government agencies and programs – bringing all these organizations together under one roof makes it much easier for retirees.” Cullerton said.

State, local and private-sector senior programs were on hand at the Glendale Heights Center for Senior Citizens to give out information and answer questions. Several health organizations provided medical screenings for participating seniors.

Cullerton hosted his first senior fair last summer and plans on hosting another fair later this year.

“At the last summer’s fair it was obvious that this type of event is extremely valuable, which is why I’m making this a semi-annual event,” Cullerton said.

Boy Scouts from Troop 199 – stationed out of St Alexander’s Elementary School in Villa Park – toured the Capitol and met with Senator Cullerton. The scouts were able to meet other lawmakers and state officials during their April visit to Springfield.

Thank you for your interest in attending our upcoming Senior Resource Fair from 9 a.m. to noon on April 22 at the Glendale Heights Center for Seniors (260 Civic Center Plaza, Glendale Heights).  
We will continue to update this list as more organizations register for the event.  My goal is to bring as many services and agencies that are of value to seniors to one convenient location.  
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have and let my staff know if there is any way we can be of assistance.  Our district office is always available at 630-903-6662, and we look forward to hearing from you.
