Atlanta-based non-profit Senior Connections raised over $100K from its annual Senior Prom event, this year held on Saturday, 21 May at the Thalia N. Carlos Hellenic Center in Atlanta. This year’s guests of honor were Dr. Donald and Mary Ellen Harp of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, who received Senior Connections’ 2016 “Community Connections” award, recognizing them for their contributions as community leaders. The evening included dinner and dancing with a live band, both a silent and live auction, and entertainment from Atlanta “soul line dancing” phenomenon Beulah Boys. WSB television reporter Audrey Washington served as emcee. All proceeds raised provided funding for Senior Connections’ programs supporting Atlanta’s senior community, including Meals on Wheels.
