Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Tennessee and concern for the safety of our members and employees, the traditional SVEC Senior Expo health and information fairs will not be held this year.

In order to reach our senior members with important information, we will be providing information through other outlets.

VIDEO FORMAT

A new video featuring a variety of speakers and topics will launch each week in October on this website, the SVEC YouTube Channel, SVEC Facebook page, local access channels for Bledsoe Telephone Cooperative (channel 18), Ben Lomand TV (channel 6) and WEPG The River (Charter channel 197).

About Senior Expos...

SVEC’s Senior Expo health and information fairs held in Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Marion and Grundy counties for those 55 and older and their caregivers, are an annual part of our celebration of National Cooperative Month and a shining example of Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative’s commitment to community.

In addition to providing a social event that allows area seniors to get out and connect with friends and neighbors, the events feature of a number of health screenings, an average of 35 or more local exhibitors and speakers with valuable, pertinent information. In turn, local businesses and organizations have the opportunity to promote their products and services to a local audience and to encourage participants to look for needed products and services locally before searching out of the area. A “win-win” situation for everyone involved.
