Welcome to the 2012 Chester County 50plus Resource Directory!

We are pleased to provide you with this annual guide of resources for life after 50—consider it your 50plus “yellow pages”! The 50plus Resource Directory contains the most up-to-date offerings from your county with information from service providers who have displayed a marked interest in assisting you.

You’ll see that the categories in the Resource Directory mirror your own wide-ranging interests and needs. In this easy-to-read guide, you will find information for everything from financial services, health and wellness, or government listings to support groups and volunteer opportunities.

The Mature Living Division at On-Line Publishers has been dedicated to serving the mind, heart, and spirit of the 50+ community since 1995 through a variety of publications and events. Each month, we publish 50plus Senior News in six county editions. Pick up a free copy for articles that will amuse you, inspire you, and inform you on topics relevant to your life!

50plus LIVING is an annual guide to residences and care options for the 50+ population in the Susquehanna, Delaware, and Lehigh valleys. At some point in our lives, we will need to consider senior living options for ourselves or for a family member, and our region offers a wide range of residential, retirement, and healthcare options for older adults.

OLP also publishes b magazine, the premier lifestyle publication dedicated to entertaining, educating, and inspiring Central Pennsylvania’s baby boomers.

Each full-gloss issue looks back at the history-making decades of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s while examining where boomers are today and the issues they now face. Check it out online at www.bmagazinepa.com.

On-Line Publishers produces six 50plus EXPOs every year—in Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster (two), Lebanon, and York counties. These free, fun, one-day events are a chance for area businesses and service providers to connect face-to-face with the communities they serve. Visit www.50plusExpoPA.com for details.

Finally, On-Line Publishers produces the PA STATE SENIOR IDOL competition, created to showcase and highlight the talents of Pennsylvanians 50 and older.

The sixth annual PA STATE SENIOR IDOL, Peggy Kurtz Keller, was chosen at the finals competition in June 2011. Auditions for 2012 will be held in the spring with finals held in June 2012. Visit www.SeniorIdolPA.com for more information.

We hope the Chester County 50plus Resource Directory will quickly become one of the handiest ways we serve your mind, heart, and spirit! ( ((

Sincerely,

Donna K. Anderson President and Publisher
