Seniors

By Jill Runfola

The participants of the Monessen Center for Active Adults, 1925 Grand Blvd., Monessen, were treated to an oldies dance with a one-man live orchestra, performed by Mark Davis of Penn Township.

The event took place on Thursday, December 7, from 12 - 2 p.m.

The site has a new manager, as of this past September, who is responsible for all the great activities the center puts on, including this one.

Attendees sang along, danced or just sat and enjoyed as Davis sang. He played “Winter Wonderland” to start with and said of his music, “This will hopefully bring back some memories. That’s what this is all about.”

Monessen Center Site Manager Angela Sapone thinks the dance is a “really great idea. It gets them (older adults) out and socializing. Just getting out is good and also to have the adults active in their community.” Sapone likes her work at the Center and said, “It’s good interacting with the senior community; they feel they have someplace to go. This is a second home to those who don’t have a family.”

Davis performed Christmas songs and continued to sing and comment on the oldies. He concluded, “I appreciate you sticking around, singing with me. I’m having a lot of fun here today.” Then, he played another Christmas classic, “Merry Christmas to You,” by Nat King Cole. A wonderful and memorable time was had by all.
