May 1, 2017 – Full Issue .entry-date::after {content: ” by Val Niehaus”;} A night of fun and elegance was had on April 8, 2017, at Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel (PCCH) for the annual Elder’s Prom night. This event was open to FCP elders and their guests to attend and is usually a great night to kick back, visit with friends, enjoy a meal and to be entertained by the band—Lovin’ Country. The conference room was decorated very nicely and with obvious class by the Caring Place staff. The dinner choice was either a steak dinner or shrimp alfredo prepared and served by the PCCH kitchen. For dessert, Jennifer Sue’s Cupcakery from Crandon, Wis., provided an abundance of many different-flavored cupcakes for the elders to top off their meal. There were plenty extra for them to take home for future enjoyment. This was a huge hit and a real treat for all who attended! Along with the excellent food, there were also many door prizes for the elders and guests to have a shot at winning with prizes that included everything from brand new luggage to Pendleton blankets/accessories and many gift cards. Jason Townsend, elder program activities coordinator, did a great job of keeping people informed as to what to expect next, and he kept the punch lines rolling while on the microphone as he announced the winners of the prizes. Jenna Paradies, elder program activities assistant, also did a fantastic job of making sure all the raffles were going smoothly and making sure all elders had their needs met. A huge thank you goes out to the rest of the Caring Place staff who all worked together to help to make this night wonderful for all the guests. Both Townsend and Paradies would like to thank all the elders who attended. Without them, of course, this would have never been such a successful night. It really was a great turnout for this year’s Elder’s Prom. They want to thank Judge White-Fish for the prayer before dinner, the PCCH staff for the meal and PTT for capturing the moments on camera.
