Love Was in the Air as "Elvis" Performed at the Somers Senior Center

"Elvis" swooned many Somers senior citizens at a Valentine's Day Party!

Blizzard Nemo caused the Somers Senior Center’s Valentine’s Day Celebration to be postponed to February 20th. However, the blizzard certainly didn’t diminish the excitement, energy, and fun that the Somers senior citizens demonstrated. David Devonshuk did a fabulous job presenting his “Elvis Remembered” Show. In full costume, he sang many of the great songs for which Elvis Presley was famous. No one could say that our Somers seniors’ hearts were not swooned! 

Many seniors joined in the fun by waving arms or clapping hands to the music and singing along with “Elvis.” The more than 70 seniors who attended this fun-filled afternoon easily remembered the lyrics and tunes. Some seniors even kicked up their heels and danced to the music. Many spoke about the wonderful memories each song brought to mind -- some blushing as they told their stories to friends. Thanks to Bill McCloskey’s annual Valentine’s Day tradition, all the women received a beautiful long-stem rose. Smiles and laughter filled the Center and love was in the air!

This event was sponsored by the Town of Somers Senior Center. The Senior Center’s staff not only provided delicious refreshments; they also participated in the fun and ensured everyone’s needs were met. This was an afternoon that will long be remembered by the Somers senior citizens who attended.
