The Burlington Council on Aging hosted it's 7th prom for the “seniors” of Burlington. This event has grown each year, now accommodating more than 120 area seniors who are very much looking forward to another grand evening. Volunteers from local businesses help plan and execute the Prom. Transportation to and from the Hilton Garden Hotel, flowers and prizes for the King, Queen and their court, framed pictures as mementos, boutonnieres for all, dancing to the services of a DJ, and a four-course meal for each guest are all part of this wonderful event.
The Senior Prom was held on Thursday April 4th, 2019 from 6pm-10pm at the Hilton Garden Hotel in Burlington, MA.
The speaker at this meeting was Dr. Wayne Saltsman, a geriatrician at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington who lectured us on the importance of creating a document naming persons whom we authorize to make treatment decisions for us if we became medically unable to do so ourselves. Good advice for all of us and quite easy to do without even requiring a lawyer.
