The Youth Council of the Wyoming Valley Chapter (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) held a “Senior” Prom at Manor Care Nursing Home in Kingston, Pa. The Youth Council provided decorations (later donated to the nursing home) and spent the afternoon talking and enjoying big band era music with the residents. The residents then participated in a game of Name That Tune and concluded the afternoon with light refreshments and a grand prize raffle. Both the residents and the youth had such a good time that the event will be repeated.

I had the privilege of meeting several of the youth volunteers and their adult sponsor when I served on a DSHR assignment that was based out of this chapter. They were a big help to those of us not from the area who kept getting lost, and helping us get everything shifted over to the DRO!
