Dear Advertisers,
This is our thirteenth annual 55+ Resource Guide. It is your generous participation that has made this guide such a success. This comprehensive resource is a valuable asset to our area seniors, caretakers and anyone with a disability.
The Resource Guide is your comprehensive one-source publication. It is an asset to those looking for a guide that covers community resources, health and wellness, housing, activities and entertainment all in one place.
This year, we have expanded the food pantry programs and added more home repair and modification listings. We have added Medicare specialist and real estate sections.
The guide has a 12-month shelf life. Because it is printed on high quality paper, it retains its durability the full year. As soon as it’s published it is strategically placed on racks throughout Sedgwick, Harvey and Butler counties. You will also find the guides in local senior centers, libraries and other sites. In addition we keep the guide on our website www.theactiveage.com for a year.
Thank you once again for participating in this year’s 55+ Resource Guide.
Thank you,
Teresa Schmied Advertising Manager
