Join us for a night of dancing, food, and entertainment. You can even savor the night by utilizing the photo booth or having your picture taken by our professional Photographer!  You will even have a chance to vote for your very own Prom King and Prom Queen.

Come single, or come as a pair! Be escorted by your grandson or granddaughter, and come enjoy a great evening of fun.

Senior Lunch Program & Transportation
