Vintage & Vibrant - Thursday, Sept. 28

The Seniors’ Council of Douglas County hopes to see you at the Vintage & Vibrant event on Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 8 a.m. at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Dr. in Parker.  This day-long experience is filled with learning socializing and plenty of fun.

Our day will begin with a continental breakfast followed by lots of laughter as our morning keynote speaker Jeanne Nott, Ms. Colorado Senior America 2022, shares her wit and humor.

Our luncheon keynote speaker is Dr. Carson Bruns, professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  Dr. Bruns will share his fascinating research on “Smart Tattoos”, bio-technology designed to prevent skin cancer.

There will be several additional educational presentations to choose from throughout the day, as well as interactive sessions and door prizes.  The cost for the entire day is only $10, however, there are scholarships if this fee is a hardship.  Registration will be open soon, so mark your calendars and watch for more details to come.
