“The theme of the prom is masquerade,” says Shakeera Thomas, the supervisor of senior programs for Royal Palm Beach. “When the seniors arrive, they’ll get a goodie bag that will include a masquerade mask, with the ladies also getting a feather boa. I had Troy McCray perform for Young at Heart’s Valentine’s Day luncheon in February, and everyone loved him, so I’m expecting lots of dancing.”
All attendees may vote on the king and queen.
This is Young at Heart’s first Senior Citizen Prom, an indication of Thomas’ commitment to expanding the events and activities of the 205-member senior group after being involved for nearly two years.
“We’ve still set out to make it look and feel like an actual prom,” Thomas says. “It happens during prom season. There’s a buzz about what colors and styles they’re planning to wear.”
The cutoff date to register is May 21. Go to royalpalmbeachfl.gov, or call 561-790-5124.
