EPCC Grandparents' Day Celebration September 12, 2009

El Paso Community College Senior Adult Program’s Grandparents Day Celebration will take place at Cielo Vista Mall, Saturday and Sunday, September 12 and 13 from Noon to 4:30 p.m. Visit over 20 service provider exhibits and other vendors. Some highlights are performances by the Elvis Louie Mai and Ralvis Ralph Rodriguez, the El Paso Senior Temptations, Just for Kicks Line Dancers, and Rhythmic Seniors Band. There will also be much Latin flair with Mariachi Gala and Mariachi Valle Verde and the Sacramento Seniors Folklorico dancers. For more information call 915-831-7801.
National Grandparents Day is observed on the Sunday after Labor Day, and its purpose is three fold: to honor grandparents for their wisdom and experience, to allow grandparents an opportunity to show their love to their children’s kids and to make children aware of the great source of knowledge, strength and guidance that can be gained from the 98,000 “over sixty” seniors in El Paso County. EPCC’s Senior Adult Program is committed to presenting community events for elders to enjoy, maintain them engaged with community and improve their quality of life.
