To the Editor:

On Friday, May 20, my husband and I attended the First Annual Senior Citizen Prom held at the Newtown High School Cafetorium.

To say it was pleasant is a definite understatement. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. The staff and students of the Senior Center, Parks and Recreation, and Newtown High School clearly worked diligently to provide a memorable experience for the senior population of Newtown.

The cafetorium was totally decorated in theme, the music was era appropriate, the food was absolutely delicious, a photo booth provided a positive experience, and the professional photographer supplied a permanent memory. The students contributed to our enjoyment immensely by their conversation and willingness to show us new dance steps.

It would be unfair to single out any one group or person. This successful endeavor was the combined effort from multiple people and we say "Thank You" to everyone who provided a delightful event.
