Singing grandmas coming to Bellevue

The Seattle leg of a nationwide senior talent competition and long-term care awareness tour is coming to Emeritus Bellevue on May 14th at 1 p.m.

The Seattle leg of a nationwide senior talent competition is coming to Emeritus Bellevue on May 14th at 1 p.m.  Sponsored by nonprofit organization 3in4 Association and the locally-headquartered Emeritus living community, the “Bring Your Talent” contest is searching to find America’s most talented seniors and caregivers. The event will also feature a discussion by elder care expert and author, Dr. Marion.

The contest is part of the national 3in4 Need More campaign, an educational initiative seeking to raise awareness about the need for Americans to better prepare for their long-term health care needs. The winner will receive one free year of rent at any Emeritus community, with 11 runners-up each receiving one free week.

Dr. Marion’s talk will begin at 1p.m. at Emeritus Bellevue, 15241 Northeast 20th Street. The talent auditions will immediately follow. More information about the contest and tour is available online at www.3in4NeedMore.com and www.FreeRentGiveaway.com.
