Siptroth and Peifer sponsoring “Senior Fair”

Dingmans Ferry - State Representatives John Siptroth, D-Monroe/Pike and Michael Peifer, R-Pike/Wayne, will jointly sponsor a “Senior Fair” in Dingmans Ferry on Oct. 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Delaware Township Municipal Building at 116 Wilson Hill Road. Admission is free and open to all senior residents of Pike County. Exhibitors will include healthcare organizations, as well as state and county aid agencies. “We expect to have screenings for hearing and blood pressure,” said Pike County Legislative Aide, Elizabeth Forrest, “but we are also hoping that flu vaccinations will be available for seniors with Medicare Part B.” Individuals with issues regarding veterans’ benefits or Social Security will be able to discuss them with constituent service outreach representatives from the offices of Congressman Carney, Senator Specter and Senator Casey. In addition, there will be door prizes, demonstrations and light refreshments. Any individual or organization wishing to volunteer to help should contact Elizabeth Forrest at 570-828-1203.
