Sacaton- They say it's never too late to enjoy yourself which is exactly what Community elders did as they attended the 2008 Senior Prom held at the Sacaton Boys and Girls Club.
Held on Fri, Nov. 14, the Senior Prom was a concept brought fourth by the Department of Health Resource's Environmental Health Services Injury Prevention Program to inform elderly on wellness issues and allow them to have a night of fun. Presentations were given on topics such as elderly driving safety, eye health, injury prevention, foot health, and understanding prescription medications.
In between presentations members of the Sacaton Boys and Girls Club provided entertainment.
After the presentations the elderly were fed a thanksgiving meal catered by Bill Johnson's Steak House. The meal was followed by the main attraction which was the Senior Prom Dance. Kyyitan was the band that had the elderly moving and grooving up until 8 p.m.
The Injury Prevention programs would like to thank the Boys and girls club for their facility and entertainment, Elderly Nutrition Services, the Animal
Control Department, Gila River Health Care Optometry and Podiatry, AAA, the Gila River Youth Council, IHSTempe Office, and all those who my have helped but were not mentioned.
