All That Jazz

The 2nd annual Senior Prom, “All That Jazz,” was held July 25, 2008 for members of the DeKalb County Neighborhood Senior Centers. Approximately 200 seniors sold out the event and were joined by a number of VIPs at an intimately decorated Lou Walker Center reminiscent of a 1920’s jazz club. As the sounds of the Frank Zimmer Jazz Quartet tickled attendees’ ears, their tongues were treated to a real taste sensation concocted by Executive Chef Malika Robins and Sous Chef Shawn Petterson. After dinner, treats kept rolling as 10 senior volunteers were selected as stand-outs in their community. Annie Donovan took home the prize, a two-night stay for two at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia. Door prizes followed and many went home with more than they came. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Senior Prom without a King and Queen. A couple from each Center was chosen by fellow members and received tiaras, sashes, crowns, robes, and trophies in honor of their newfound title: Prom King or Queen. Several line dances followed and soon everyone was on the dance floor. For all who attended it was truly a night to remember.

Our Mission:

To maximize independence and enhance the quality of life of seniors

What can we do for you?

A hot, nutritious meal delivered to the door. A new wheelchair ramp to make a sunny afternoon outdoors assessible once more. A little help with daily tasks goes a long way toward independence. Providing seniors with the assistance they need to remain in their own homes as long as possible is what we do at Senior Connections.
