Heart of Seniors Again Fills Wyndham Hotel Ballroom

The Heart of Seniors expo, luncheon and fashion show was held at the Visalia Wyndham Hotel on February 13, and once again tickets and vendor spaces were sold out well in advance.

This year's event attracted 360 attendees and included 50 vendor tables, each with information about services available to seniors in the South Valley.

The program, which included a showcase of the latest in fashion for the mature woman, featured keynote speaker, comedian and Speaker Hall of Fame member Steve Gilliland.

The annual event is organized by the Senior Coalition, an organization with the mission of providing healthcare professionals with the resources and knowledge to better assist Kings and Tulare County's seniors and their families.

"This event was a beautiful reminder of the power of community coming together for our seniors," said Laura Santos, marketing director of Westgate Gardens. "Seeing everyone contribute and share in the experience made it truly special."

"Collaboration is the heart of the Senior Coalition - where members come together to support, uplift and advocate for seniors in need," said Bob Patel of Century 21 Jordan-Link.
