“The ladies were in awe that he was paying personal attention to them,” center director Shirley Witt said. “It was very uplifting for the holidays.”

The entertainer was one of the special events the senior center holds for its patrons throughout the year.

“The center likes to bring joy to our seniors who are alone at the holidays,” Witt said. “We don’t realize from the busyness every day how it impacts people’s lives.”
