Seniors, Come Jazz It Up!

Senior citizens can swing into Spring with style at Spring Fling, an intergenerational variety show that will be held in the Garfield Middle School Cafeteria on Thursday, April 7, 2011 from 3:30– 5:30 p.m. This annual event is a collaboration between community organizations to provide a lively social gathering for attendees. Area senior citizens will have the opportunity to enjoy the featured performers in the Lakewood High School Jazz band & Workshop Band and to savor refreshments served by Lakewood Ranger Catering. This year’s event will reflect a swing-era theme, which will lend just a little extra pizzazz to the atmosphere.

Spring Fling is not only a cherished event for the Senior participants, but for the youth volunteers as well. Many of the Lakewood High students who have eagerly signed up to help set up, serve, and clean up have attended Spring Fling in past years. It is among their favorite events to interact with and to serve their community. They will bring their natural cheer and elegant attire to help make this event a repeat success. The partnering organizations who sponsor this event are Lakewood Kiwanis, H2O (Help to Others), LHS Jazz Band & Workshop Band, Lakewood Ranger Catering, and Lakewood Department of Human Services.

If you would like to make a reservation, please call the Lakewood Division of Aging at (216)521-1515. Tickets are $6.00 and covers the cost of refreshments. Transportation can be provided for Lakewood Senior Residents. If you have a neighbor, friend or relative who may like to attend, please pass the word about this great event!
