Multi-Purpose Center Luau

Just because you reach a certain age, it doesn't mean you can't have fun. The people who attend the Lee County Multi-Purpose Center for the Elderly in Tupelo are proof.

About a hundred Senior Citizens enjoyed a Hawaiian luau Thursday morning at the center. And as you can see from the slideshow accompanying this post, it was a festive occasion with games, music, snacks and lots of smiles. Edna Ruth Dobbs, Neighbors' Senior News correspondent, was there. (That's Edna in the white blouse on and the wall clock behind her midway through the slideshow).

One of the highlights came when Shelton Shannon, the center's director, and Robert Smith, a member and volunteer at the Verona senior center, dressed up as hula dancers and performed for the audience. They got a little outrageous in their performance, and everyone got a big laugh out of it.
