Seniorpalooza ’25

An explosion of education, resources, and connections to support the health, wellness, safety, and belonging of UA’s older residents (and beyond)! The Upper Arlington Commission on Aging dreams of a future where resources are seamlessly connected, offering peace and support in this season of life, with speakers sharing valuable knowledge and insight. This is a step in that direction. As supplies permit, attendees will receive a home fire extinguisher and the important File of Life.
