You don’t have to be in high school to attend a senior prom. Residents and patients at RUNNELLS Specialized Hospital of Union County enjoyed good company, music and dancing at the annual event.
“Attendees were presented with lovely handmade flowers crafted by the residents themselves and leis in keeping with this year’s theme ‘An Evening of Tropical Bliss’,” said Union County Freeholder Mohamed S. Jalloh, liaison to RUNNELLS. “There was calypso and top 40’s music for dancing or just to listen to, performed by Anthony and Linda Curtis, guitarist and singer of “To The Limit” and André DeSandies on steel drums.”
