Veterans Muster brings key veteran resources

The Baltimore County Department of Aging is pleased to announce there will be a Veterans Muster.
The Muster, sponsored by the Towson Elks, is a one-stop shop for veterans and their families to find
resources and programs dedicated to those that have served their country. Additionally, we are happy to have the support of the Baltimore County Commission on Veterans Affairs.

Connecting with veteran resources at any age is important to get the attention that any serviceperson
deserves. The Veteran Muster at Expo will offer insights and resources for veterans of all ages and
their families.

“So many veterans out there don’t realize they are eligible for care which makes it so important to let them know what they need to do to follow up on claims and establish service connection,” Michelle
Mills, Deputy Director of the Baltimore County Department of Aging stated, “We are proud to gather as
many resources as we can for them to stroll through the tables and find valuable information.”

On Wednesday, October 29, at Noon, Expo will stop to salute its veterans on the Main Stage with a
presentation of the colors, the pledge and the singing of the national anthem. Expo looks forward to honoring our veterans and their families with resources and tributes during our welcoming ceremony.

Pickleball Palooza

For the first time ever, Baltimore County is offering a Championship Pickleball Tournament sponsored by Johns Hopkins Health Plans, Bounce Pickleball, Dill Dinkers of Cockeysville, Dill Dinkers of White March, Maryland Relay and Atheletico/Pivot Physical Therapy at Expo.

Regional Tournaments have occurred throughout August and early October to find the best of the best at each of our County senior centers that host Pickleball. Each regional tournament had high enthusiasm for this opportunity to challenge each other in fun and sportsmanship.

As each regional tournament concluded, winners were named in each of the age groups, 60-69, 70-79 and 80+, to go to Expo and represent their area at the championship round. If you are a fan of this sport or want to learn more, stop by this area at Expo in North Hall to cheer your favorite center and/or pick up
some playing tips.

Delight in the creative art and writing entries

Discover the extraordinarily creative talents of senior center artists and writers on display at this year’s Creative Arts Show at The Power of Age Expo. The Community College of Baltimore County will be sponsoring this area at the event.

More than 100 masterpieces will be displayed. To qualify for participation, art must have been created while the artist was a senior center member or since they were age 60 or older.

Many of these beautiful pieces of art were crafted utilizing skills attained while attending classes held at the individual artist’s senior center. Art featured is from one of nine categories.

The winner in each category will receive a gift card and a special ribbon. Winners will be announced from the main stage for artist and their guests around 4:30 p.m. Each category winner and their artwork will be featured in the “Time of Your Life Digest” newspaper.
