MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION SLATED FOR PASADENA SENIOR CENTER WITH LIVE BAND, DANCING AND TRIBUTE TO USO
Break out your stars and stripes and get ready to cut the rug at the annual Pasadena Senior Center Memorial Day concert and dance event, Monday, May 27, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. It will be red, white and blue all the way as we observe this national holiday that remembers and honors U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Light snacks will be available.
The event will include live music courtesy of the Great American Swing Band. Featuring bandleader and trumpet player Jodi Gladstone and vocalist Linda Vogel, the band will play a variety of musical — and patriotic — favorites with a salute to the USO to keep everyone dancing. Pam Kay’s Tap Chicks will perform as well.
The cost is only $8 for members of the Pasadena Senior Center and $12 for nonmembers. To register, visit www.pasadenaseniorcenter.org and click on Activities & Events, then Special Events. Only cash payments will be accepted at the door.
The Pasadena Senior Center’s mission is to improve the lives of older adults through caring service with opportunities for social interaction, fitness programs, basic support and needs services, education, volunteerism and community activism. With 10,000 Americans per day becoming older adults, the center is a leader in addressing the issues of aging and provides innovative, cutting-edge, nationally recognized programs for this population group.
As a donor-supported nonprofit, the center operates without any local, state or federal funding and provides more services to older adults in the San Gabriel Valley than any other organization. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. To learn more, visit www.pasadenaseniorcenter.org or call 626-795-4331.
