My Hudson NEWs: Senior’s Treated

by Sherri Graham

Hudson Dance Center’s swing team entertained seniors who attended this years Generations Tea hosted by Hudson’s Youth Services and As Kneaded’s volunteer bakers.On hand to help serve were Julie-Ann Henderson and Jessica Graham as well as Margaret Hickman from As Kneaded along with Donna Karpman and myself. Three beautiful baskets were awarded as door prizes as well as one lucky person at each table got to take home the lovely floral arrangement donated by Wendy Smith who has always been very generous in the community with her botanical talents!

Given the extreme heat of the day, organizers were very grateful to the dancers for getting themselves prepared for this performance. Still gracious and smiling, dancer Mariah Van Kessel sighed afterwards, “It is such a relief to get the black spandex off!” The group had walked down to the center following a final rehearsal at the dance studio. Their audience who had been treated to a decadent table of treats, prepared by As Kneaded, suggested that they would enjoy seeing this kind of talent from our youths more often! One guest related that this brought back memories of being in a chorus line herself. Although there was a noted shortage of men, I am convinced that the gentleman in attendance would have been in high demand had we had some dance music on for these seniors. Perhaps we will consider this next time!
