Cars & Cuisine & Community
Often said that “it takes a Village to raise a child” – and we agree and, actually, have learned along the way, we are ALWAYS much better together than trying do things on our own. Therefore, “it takes a Village” applies to almost everything we try to accomplish in our Helping Seniors organization.
When retired Navy Captain Joe Steckler launched Helping Seniors 15 years ago, his words to all of us were “it’s never easy to raise funds to keep a non-profit going” and so he always looked for fun ways that people could get involved and share in work of the organization, but also in a fun and rewarding way.
With that in mind, on June 27th, we are celebrating with a special “Open House” event at our Senior Resource Center, located at 1344 S Apollo Blvd – Melbourne FL. We decided to open up on that Saturday, 10am-2pm, with a free-to-attend Car Show outside and a free-to-attend Open House inside on the 2nd Floor, where our center is. (It is also a fundraiser for Helping Seniors – more on that in a moment!)
Cars – Our great friend and car show organizer extraordinaire Bill Antonetz, known for Praise & Pistons Car Show at Calvary Chapel and much more, is inviting all of his car show friends to present a free car show for fun on the grounds of the Senior Resource Center outside. We’ll also – of course! – have a few of the great cars you can select from when you win in our 10th Annual Helping Seniors Car Raffle October 25th at the American Muscle Car Museum!
Cuisine – Here’s the fundraiser fun that day: Celebrity Chef Jillian Zebris, of Chefs for Seniors, is gathering a dozen TOP NAME chefs in the Brevard area – including Stuart Borton, of the amazing Yellow Dog Café, who are bringing some of the best tastes in Brevard out to our Center. Affordable Taste Cards (for donation) offer up the opportunity to sip and stroll your way through some wonderful food experiences – complete with entertainment and more that Saturday!
Community – In addition to the Cars & Cuisine, many great Community Partners will be on-site at the Senior Resource Center at our free open house. Visit us and check out where our monthly education programs happen, see the Helping Seniors Helpline Center, and even record your own greeting in our state-of-the-art Podcast studio! It is free to visit and get good information for your Aging plan too!
We hope you will join us for a good Saturday for the Community on June 27th! Learn more by calling (321) 473-7770 or visit us online at our website HelpingSeniorsofBrevard.org. Let’s enjoy our time together “in the Village!”
