11th Annual Senior
reception |
|
|
|
|
More than 500 seniors from Brockton and surrounding communities
attended the 11th Annual Senior Reception on June 18th. The Senior
Reception is hosted each year by the Dorn-Davies Senior Center, a
program of Brockton Area Multi-Services, Inc. (BAMSI), and was held at
the Massasoit Conference Center in Brockton. The day-long event
provided essential information to seniors as well as entertainment and
give-a-ways in the afternoon. The Gold Sponsors this year’s event were
the Robert L. Epstein Family Foundation, Attorney Kenneth R. Feinberg,
and Barry Koretz of BKA Associates, Inc.
Bob Fuda, Director of the Dorn-Davies Senior Center, said, “The
Dorn-Davies Senior Center provides services to more than 3,400 seniors
each year. All of our programs are well attended and our staff and
volunteers are wonderful.”
One of the highlights of this year’s Senior Reception was the musical
entertainment provided by the extraordinarily talented Mr. Tony DeBois.
Mr. DeBlois is blind, autistic, and has Savant Syndrome. Amazingly he
has been playing the piano since age two and graduated from Berklee
College of Music with the honor of magna cum laude in 1996. He
delighted the crowd with an all request repertoire of song ranging
from Louis Armstrong to Andrea Bocelli.
The Sounds of Legends featuring Sigy Moller and Ronnie Howe, once
again charmed the audience singing many of the old favorites, getting
several people out of their seats to take a turn on the dance floor.
Mayor James Harrington opened the event by welcoming those in
attendance and thanking BAMSI for all that it does to support seniors
in our community. Attorney Richard Lawton provided valuable
information on legal issues affecting seniors, such as estate planning
and protecting assets. District Attorney Timothy Cruz offered helpful
advice on avoiding frauds and schemes, particularly those targeted at
elders.
Honored recipient of this year’s Senior Service Appreciation Award was
Mr. Robert Martin for his outstanding contribution to the City of
Brockton for past 37 years. Mr. Martin served the city under the
office of seven Mayors providing leadership in human services and
assistance to those in need.
Principal Sponsors of the Senior Reception were BAMSI and the Brockton
Housing Authority. North Easton Savings Bank was a Silver Sponsor;
Bronze Sponsors included Cedar Hill Health Care Center and Harbor One
Credit Union; and Wine Palace was a Benefactor. Many area businesses
donated gifts for the 30 plus raffle prizes distributed and several
organizations provided resource information and give-a-ways at a
number of resource tables available in the outer lobby.
