BUDA — The city of Buda invites older adults, caregivers and community members to attend the Older Adults Resource Fair from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 30, at Buda City Hall. The event will bring together local organizations, educational opportunities and community resources designed to support healthy aging in place.
The resource fair will feature a variety of local organizations with information tables set up in the lobby, giving attendees the opportunity to connect directly with service providers, ask questions and explore available programs and support services. Members of the city’s Commission on Aging will also be in attendance and available to speak with community members about aging-related needs and priorities.
In addition to the information tables, attendees will have the opportunity to attend two rounds of educational sessions held from 11 a.m. to noon and noon to 1 p.m. Participants may choose from three rotating topics:
• Artificial intelligence (AI) and aging: An introduction to how AI is impacting healthcare, daily living tools and support systems for older adults.
• Hays Central Appraisal District (CAD) property taxes: An overview of property tax processes, exemptions and resources available to property owners.
• Streaming 101: A beginner-friendly guide to streaming services, including how to set up and use popular entertainment platforms.
“These sessions are designed to be practical, accessible and directly responsive to the questions we hear from our older adult community,” said Commission on Aging liaison and Human Resources director Matthew Wright. “Whether someone is looking to better understand technology, navigate property taxes or simply connect with local resources, there will be something valuable for everyone.”
The Older Adults Resource Fair reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to enhancing quality of life for residents of all ages by connecting them with tools, services and education that support independence and well-being, stated a news release. The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
