OUT&ABOUT
MARDI GRAS - Mardi Gras’ parades and street parties were 433 miles from Madison, but the fun atmosphere of the Big Easy filled Madison Senior Center for its annual party, hosted by Rotary Club of Madison. “This year’s party was the first one inside the center since 2019. There wasn’t a party in 2020. Last year, we had a drive-up party,” Levoneia Ayers said. Ayers works as Senior Center Director. Pastor Larry ‘L.C.’ Burks and Dorothy Harris were crowned King and Queen of Mardi Gras at the center. Rotarians decorated the center’s auditorium in a sea of purple and gold. Center members enjoyed a fruit punch (purple, of course!) and cupcakes heaped with white frosting. The serving table had a ‘Mardi Gras tree.’ “Rotary has been thrilled to have put on this event for a number of years,” Rotary President Kris McBride said. “The seniors always seem to enjoy this event. They have fun, and we Rotarians have a blast. Last year, we had to put this on as a ‘drive-by’ (because of COVID-19) so it was wonderful to be able to go back in person.” Here are some fun photos from the event:
