Bringing Seniors A Reason To
Celebrate
The
Young-at-Heart-Party
Working with Seniors Councils
throughout our area, Navidad en el Barrio provides a special event each
year: The Young-At-Heart Party.
Young at Heart Day is
usually held during the summer because the senior citizens felt that
everybody remembers them during the holidays but they have nothing to do
during the hot summer days.
This event invites approximately 300 senior citizens
to a party with all the trimmings. Lunch is served to those in attendance
and then the dancing begins. During the dance, seniors are treated to
door prizes and each senior that attends receives a $10. gift check from
Fiesta Mart Supermarket and an oscillating fan for the long hot summer
months. Navidad realizes that numerous seniors are on a fixed income and
cannot afford air-conditioning so the fans hopefully help them cope with
the weather. This festival began in 1995 and participation has increased
each year.
We accept nominations from
the councils, total the number of attendees and the party is off the
ground!
Seniors are asked to bring their favorite covered
dish and are bused to our venue.
Navidad en el Barrio provides
Rest assured, a good time is had by all. Old friendships
are renewed and new friends are found.
