Bright colors, friendly faces and big smiles filled the Lake Forest Senior Citizen Center as our Junior students hosted an afternoon to remember at the Senior Citizen Center on March 16. Decorated with a St. Patrick’s Day theme, it was heartwarming to witness generations come together to share stories and laughter. Student Chairs Taylor Goddu and Ellie Graham organized over 60 students for their largest community service opportunity this year. The students will be the first to tell you they were honored to be there and in the height of their busy schedules, this was an enriching way to spend time with their peers and new friends. Over 100 guests were greeted at the door by our Juniors and then swept away to a delicious brunch and delightful musical entertainment. David Head and Rohan Vashi served as masters of ceremony providing an easy, relaxed atmosphere with lots of laughs. Thank you to our talented performers. The LFHS Jazz Band musicians, Carter Petray, Will Neuberger, Andrew Meland, Alyssa Loiacano, Alex Zervica, Mack Suhre, Will Kyriazis, Matt Kalish, Stew Kerr, Peter Briggs, Peter Schmidt, Bobby Hollander, Tommy Johnson, Eric Pickell, Andy Quinn, Alex Kroger, Gerard Warren, Cora Siebert and Jeremy Berman. Soloists Casey Donovan, Carter Petray (vocals), Andrew Koval (piano), Andrew Meland (trombone).

Many of the senior guests commented on the “outstanding music and entertainment.” Such an event could not have happened without the tremendous support of our parents. A special thank you to Parent Chairs, Cheryl Killam, Cindy Long, and Susan Svigos along with key helpers Susan Layton and Rita Meland. As well as to the army of parents who donated all the drinks, homemade sandwiches and desserts, plus all the other delicious goodies…thank you, thank you, thank you!
