Why did we send you this Guide?

For more than 20 years, the Beacon Newspapers has attracted thousands of people to its annual 50+Expos in Montgomery County and Northern Virginia, featuring speakers, exhibits, health screenings, entertainment and more for people over 50.

Due to the widespread COVID virus, for the safety of readers and their family members, we have temporarily postponed in-person events and offered a virtual event online instead.

Last year, we were pleasantly surprised to have more than 9,000 unique visitors come to beacon50expo.com, our custom-designed website. This year, we hope you and your friends will bring us an even larger turnout!

The Virtual 50+Expo includes immediate, free access, 24/7, to useful information from area nonprofits, government agencies and businesses, as well as prerecorded classes and expert speakers of special interest to people over 50.

Our keynote speaker will be Diane Rehm, who hosted NPR’s “The Diane Rehm Show” for more than 30 years. Rehm will engage in a discussion with Beacon publisher Stuart Rosenthal addressing her broadcast career and the books she has written.

A second keynote will feature Dr. Mark Warshawsky, former Deputy Commissioner

of Social Security, speaking about the future of Social Security and private pensions.

In addition, the online expo will include: video demonstrations and classes on tai chi, yoga, cooking, nutrition, dance and more; more than a dozen speakers covering health and wellness, legal matters and estate planning, employment and volunteer opportunities, money and investments, retirement housing options and travel; and entertainment covering a broad range, from classical music to rock ‘n’ roll to comedy.

To enable you to enjoy this wealth of material, the beacon50expo.com website will remain free and accessible day and night for three months — from November 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022.

So, mark your calendar and plan to visit frequently. Valuable door prize drawings will also be held throughout the period.

Flip through this Expo Program Guide to learn more about this event. Please visit us at beacon50expo.com and tell your friends about it, too!

Thank you,

“To you, it’s the perfect lift chair.

To me, it’s the best sleep chair I’ve ever had.”

NOW

— J. Fitzgerald, VA

also available in Genuine Italian Leather and New Chestnut Color (as pictured here)

Three Chairs in One Sleep/Recline/Lift

ACCREDITED BUSINESS A+

You can’t always lie down in bed and sleep. Heartburn, cardiac problems, hip or back aches – and dozens of other ailments and worries. Those are the nights you’d give anything for a comfortable chair to sleep in: one that reclines to exactly the right degree, raises your feet and legs just where you want them, supports your head and shoulders properly, and operates at the touch of a button.

Our Perfect Sleep Chair® does all that and more. More than a chair or recliner, it’s designed to provide total comfort. Choose your preferred heat and massage settings, for hours of soothing relaxation. Reading or watching TV? Our chair’s recline technology allows you to pause the chair in an infinite number of settings. You’ll love the other benefits, too. It helps with correct spinal alignment and promotes back pressure relief, to prevent back and muscle pain.

The overstuffed, oversized biscuit style back and unique seat design will cradle you in comfort. Generously filled, wide armrests provide enhanced arm support when sitting or reclining. It even has a battery backup in case of a power outage.

White glove delivery included in shipping charge. Professionals will deliver the chair to the exact spot in your home where you want it, unpack it, inspect it, test it, position it, and even carry the packaging away! You get your choice of Genuine Italian Leather, stain and water repellent custom-manufactured DuraLux™ with the classic Leather look or plush MicroLux™ microfiber in a variety of colors to fit any decor. New Chestnut color only available in Genuine Italian Leather. Call now!

A better state of care.

Better never stops.

University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center has been recognized for the third consecutive year as a Best Hospital for 2021-22 by U.S. News & World Report. Named #3 in both the state and the Baltimore Metro area, UM St. Joseph is the highest-ranking community hospital in Maryland.

We owe this recognition to our staff and physicians’ relentless commitment to providing high-quality, safe and compassionate patient care for all those we serve. We are most proud because of what this accomplishment means for our patients: excellent outcomes, improved health and wellness, and greater access to the very best care.

Finally . . . a better mobility solution than Scooters or Power Chairs.

The Zoomer’s versatile design and 1-touch joystick operation brings mobility and independence to those who need it most.

After just one trip around your home in the Zoomer, you’ll marvel at how easy it is to navigate. It is designed to maneuver in tight spaces like doorways, between furniture, and around corners. It can go over thresholds and works great on any kind of floor or carpet. It’s not bulky or cumbersome, so it can roll right up to a table or desk – there’s no need to transfer to a chair. Its sturdy yet lightweight aluminum frame makes it durable and comfortable.

Its dual motors power it at up to 3.7 miles per hour and its automatic electromagnetic brakes stop on a dime.

The rechargeable battery powers it for up to 8 miles on a single charge. Plus, it’s exclusive foldable design enables you to transport it easily and even store it in a closet or under a bed when it’s not in use.

Sturdy & Lightweight Frame

Joystick Control (adaptable left or right)

Comfortable Seating

Now available with sporty two-arm lever steering (Zinger Chair)
