Car Show Outside! A great free to explore Car Show - featuring all types of cars from Classics to Muscle Cars and from Exotic to Mainstream favorites! Bill Antonetz, local Car Show organizer extraordinaire (famous for the long-running "Dunkin' Car Show" as well as the very popular "Praise & Pistons" 3rd Saturday Car Show at Calvary Chapel West Melbourne) has invited his drivers to a fun gathering at the Helping Seniors offices!

Open House Inside! Come for a free tour of the Helping Seniors "Senior Resource Center" and see the home of the Helping Seniors Helpline, great resources for Seniors and the location for many excellent Senior Education workshops and events that happen regularly on-site. In addition, tour the state-of-the-art Podcast Studio and try your hand at recording your own greeting suitable for Social Media and more!

Rev Up Your Appetite! This is the fundraiser portion of our event! Chef Jillian Zebris, of Chefs for Seniors, has invited her culinary expert friends to help us in the work of Helping Seniors by providing a wonderful afternoon of tastings of some of the finest that Brevard County restaurateurs have available!

Each tasting is $10 but save through donating and sharing your lanyard for best pricing! 2 sample for $15, 5 samples for $30, and 12 samples for $60.

Being an Ohio native, Chef Jillian takes a midwest, farm to table approach to food. She relocated to Orlando to follow her passion for serving people in the hospitality industry.

Driven by her love of food, she attended Le Cordon Bleu and became a certified pastry chef. She worked at Disney's EPCOT Food and Wine Festival where she was recognized for her hard work, leadership skills and health and safety compliance. She also worked as a Pastry Chef at a Disney hotel where her dessert was featured in a magazine!
With the birth of her son, she relocated to Melbourne where she worked as a Pastry chef at the Chart House.

She loves serving the senior community in the Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Indian Harbour Beach areas as a Chefs For Seniors franchise owner.
