Seniors Who Rock 2016

We hope you will join us for Pro Seniors' 2nd annual Seniors Who Rock award ceremony. There will be light bites from Jeff Thomas Catering and open bar.

What makes a senior a Senior Who Rocks? Our honorees are people who are at least 70 years old, and they are still active, working or volunteering and adding a value and vibrancy to our community. They are truly inspirational.
