The New Milford residents of the Butter Book Hill Apartments and Candlewood Valley Health & Rehabilitation Center had the opportunity to recreate that special day. Glenholme brought new color to faded memories by providing the residents with their all time favorite music hits and dancing when its students hosted a Senior Citizen Dance on Thursday, September 23 from 4-6 p.m.

Glenholme students had their hard work and preparation rewarded when two generations fused on a very special afternoon. Glenholme's six-member student dance committee met each week for the past three months to tackle the full responsibilities that come with planning the event. The afternoon's theme, "Classy New York - A Night with Gershwin" encircled guests with the glamour and glitter of New York City. While enjoying each other's company, two different generations came together to share stories and learn new moves - from today's hip-hop dance to the jitterbug.

This year, the senior dance was generously sponsored by the following community minded business partners: Northwest Lumber, Dolce Heritage, Ericson Agency, Robertson's Jewelers, Marandola Fuel Service, Washington Food Market and Liquor Store, Southworth's Dodge and Chrysler and Thomasville Home Furnishings.

This event has become a beloved tradition among Glenholme students, Candlewood Valley and Butter Brook Hill residents. The experience was remarkable for the students of Glenholme and each individual witnessed how much happiness they can bring to other's lives with a single effort.
