Take me back to the senior prom
If you are age 55 or older, Richmond’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities invites you to take a trip down memory lane at the 2009 Spring Senior Prom.
The prom will be held May 7 at the Landmark Theater from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Entertainment includes performers singing “old school” tunes that you are sure to remember, and you’ll have a blast dancing the night away to music from the 1950s through today.
Hors d’oeuvres will be served, and you can bring appetizers for your table.
Reservations are only $24 for a table of eight. The deadline to make reservations is April 10.
For more information or to make reservations, call 646-1999. Call today, and come May 7 you’ll be singing “come on let’s twist again” and having fun doing the electric slide!

Rumor has it that Bread & Puppet Theater will be gracing us with their presence again this Sunday around 2:30 or so, depending on the weather. There were hoping to do it in Monroe Park, but the March of Dimes are doing an event there, so they are going to try for Pleasants Park.
Spread the word and save me a grassy spot.
