The Fourth District Senior Resource Center sparkled with glitz and glamour on Saturday, September 6, 2025, as more than 75 guests gathered for the First Annual “Seasoned” Senior Prom. The Charles L. Lewis III Assembly Room transformed into a ballroom of dazzling style, where attendees in their finest evening attire enjoyed an unforgettable night of celebration.
The evening was filled with joy and connection—gourmet dining, music, laughter, and plenty of dancing set the tone. Friends reconnected, new memories were made, and the spirit of community was alive with fellowship and fun.
Guests were treated to an incredible lineup of nostalgic musical performances by Larry Streaty featuring the B-3 Four Band, along with lively sets from DJ John Phillips of Golden Voice Productions. The music had everyone singing along, dancing, and reminiscing about cherished moments from years past.
A highlight of the evening was the King and Queen Coronation Ceremony. Contestants Beverly J. Henry, Nolon Childress, Naomi Bea, and Alford Clairborne graced the stage, each bringing their own charm and helping to raise both funds and awareness for the Center. Superior Court Judge Rod Shelton crowned Beverly J. Henry and Nolon Childress as the reigning Queen and King of the 2025–2026 season, to the delight and applause of the audience.
This inaugural prom was more than just an event—it was a celebration of community, joy, and the vibrant lives of our senior members. The success of the evening would not have been possible without the dedication of our supporters, volunteers, and partners. We extend heartfelt thanks to all who helped make this milestone event a reality.
