Adult Recreation EXPO
Welcome to the Third Annual
Piedmont Adult Recreation EXPO!
This event is being provided by the City of Piedmont and conducted by a group of Piedmont volunteers with the support of the Piedmont Recreation Department, the Piedmont Adult School, the Piedmont Center for the Arts, and other groups providing recreation in Piedmont.
The EXPO is free to everyone and showcases recreational programs within the city of Piedmont from these organizations. Their representatives are here at tables to tell you about their programs, activities, events, or classes, and explain how you can get involved.
A recreation expo was a recommendation in a Piedmont Recreation Commission 2023 Older Adult Recreation Report. This report concluded that there were many recreational opportunities in Piedmont for older adults from many organizations, but people are often unaware of them or didn’t know how to get involved. The EXPO addresses this opportunity and hopes to enhance lives.
The names of the EXPO participating groups are provided on the back with contact information at their tables and at piedmont.ca.gov/AdultExpo. We would also encourage you to visit the PiedmontCA.com website for more information about services available in Piedmont. QR Codes for these sites are available on the back.
Thanks for being with us,
Lisa Gardner and Dick Carter
Volunteer Event Leaders
P.S. We want to especially thank our EXPO expense underwriters, the Piedmont Recreation Department, Bahnson Isaacs Group, Jim Gardner Construction, and Edith Lee Design!
