Today we went to the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center to put on a Senior Prom. We arrived around 1pm to start setting up the decorations, the food, the photobooth and the activities. Some of our few classmates couldn't attend, but at least we had some help from people outside of our class. I helped put up some of the decorations and centerpieces and greeted people as they walked in. I also helped served some of the food and drinks as well as passed out the raffle prizes and goody bags. The baked goods that the baking team made was really good and this was reaffirmed by the fact that the seniors wanted seconds, especially of the blueberry cheesecake. We also had the Salsa Club come in to teach salsa and bachata for a bit. I wished the event was longer so the seniors had more time to partake in the activities. I felt that half of the time was spent serving food and eating. Near the end of event, we also announced the Prom King and Queen and it was so nice to see their faces lit up when the crowns was placed on top of their heads. At the end of the event, we gave them each a sandwich to take home to eat later. I didn't get to see the person that I talked to the last time I visited the Wellness Center, but I did saw a few familiar faces. I recalled that throughout the event and at the end of event when the seniors were leaving, they thanked me a couple of times for having this event. I remembered one lady said that she had a great time and that everything was good like the food.
