Who do you turn to when you have a big deal to celebrate? In this case, the Community for Positive Aging chose to mark 50 years of support for and service to older adults at the Hollywood Senior Center by hosting well-known local musical performers China Forbes and Thomas Lauderdale of Pink Martini fame. A benefit concert including the duo will be held Friday, Sept. 15, at Grant High School. The evening event will also feature performances by the Grant High School Royal Blues and the Hollywood Ukulele Group.
The event runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at 2245 NE 36th Ave. Tickets are $100 for preferred seating and $55 for regular seating. To purchase tickets and for more information, visit communityfpa.org.
According to a press release, concert proceeds will benefit the programs and services of the Community for Positive Aging, formerly named the Hollywood Senior Center. Over the last few years, the Community for Positive Aging has expanded its services, reaching out beyond the Hollywood neighborhood to provide its programs. The name change was made to reflect work that is no longer centered on a specific place.
