Primetime Living Expo


This past week RSVP attended the Primetime Living Expo at Mystic Lake Casino. Thousands of older adults across the metro came to the expo to participate in workshops, health screenings, drawings, and performances. RSVP’s Pretty Good Players performed a few of their skits focused around challenging stereotypes of aging and 12 RSVP volunteers assisted Expo staff in registering visitors and handing out welcome bags. Our RSVP volunteers encouraged visitors to stop by RSVP’s booth to learn more about volunteer opportunities in their communities.

If you’re interested in helping represent RSVP as a volunteer at more special events and one time opportunities in the future, check out our special events phone line by calling 952.945.4111 to listen to a listing of events happening in your area!
