Senior Citizen Prom Held On March 29
By Sonny DiSabato, Senior Citizen Coordinator
Hello fellow seniors. The Senior Citizen Prom is early this year! Sponsored by the Pennsauken Education Association, the Senior Citizen Prom will be on Sunday, March 29 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Pennsauken High School Cafeteria. This great annual event features lunch and dancing; the Optical Academy will also be on hand to provide eye exams. And immediately after the prom, seniors will be escorted to the auditorium to watch the high school’s performance of “Guys and Dolls.” And it’s all FREE to Pennsauken seniors!
Seniors can RSVP for the event by calling Terri Noone at (609) 847-6537 or e-mailing tnoone@pennsauken.net. Please provide your full name, phone number, and number of people in your party.
County Community Day Center Free To Seniors
In the past, I’ve talked about the great community day center run by the Camden County Board of Freeholders Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Senior and Disables Services. In the past, participants had to pay $5 a day to attend. Now, it’s FREE!
The Senior Citizen Day Center is eligible to residents of Camden County age 60 or over who are self medicating, able to walk and sociably functioning. The center is open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Participants may attend the center two or three days per week.
Seniors attending the center receive door-to-door transportation, lunch and nutrition programs, grocery and personal shopping, health screenings, social services assistance and more. Seniors can also participate in a wide variety of activities, including board games, ceramics, educational programs, holiday celebrations, needlecrafts, and woodworking, just to name a few.
To apply or to receive additional information regarding this or any other senior citizen benefit provided by the County, please call (800) 797-3477.
Wishing you good health and happiness. Please say a special prayer for our men and women serving our country both at home and overseas.
