Connie Hudson Senior Center staff, volunteers and City Council member, Bess Rich, build balloon antlers at the December 21st Senior Breakfast, sponsored by Rich
On Wednesday morning, December 21, seniors at Connie Hudson Mobile Regional Senior Community Center were treated to breakfast by Mobile City Council member, Bess Rich, and the Senior Center.
Rich welcomed the large crowd and said she hoped this breakfast was the beginning on an annual event. Ron Praytor catered the meal and offered the invocation. Entertainment was provided by the facility's staff members, with the morning ending with a carol song by Kathy Sullivan, front desk employee.

Sam America, who introduced Bo Grant to the audience at Connie Hudson Senior Center
Charles "Bo" Grant, a Mt. Vernon, AL native who spent 17 years as a member of The Platters singing group and has been inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, gave a concert at the Connie Hudson Mobile Regional Senior Community Center on December 16th.
And the 90-100 seniors who filled the activity room loved him. No wonder--he not only performed The Platters' Greates Hits, but segued easily from "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" to Elvis's (I Can't Help) "Falling in Love with You" to Satchmo's "What a Wonderful World."
Actually, Grant, wearing a Christmas sweater, set the friendly holiday tone with "O Holy Night" and "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.)
Grant's two-hour performance, sponsored by Harris Healthcare and Dauphin Way Assisted Living Facility, took those of us who still like to savor every word of a song on a musical journey. What fun to travel with Otis Redding to "The Dock of the Bay," with Fats Domino to "Blueberry Hill" and to end back in the Senior Center gym with our significant other listening to The Platters "Only You."
Grant's appearance was a delight--his easy chatter, his recognition of those he knew in the audience, his willingness to sign autographs during his short intermission, his clear enunciation of every word of every song from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Pictured are a few scenes from the Bo Grant concert.
