Senior Prom

Charleston Rehabilitation & Health Care Center is hosting its 2nd annual Senior Prom on February 9th at 2:30 in the afternoon. Our theme this year is “Hollywood Nights.” We are very excited about this event and all it includes! Our “ballroom” will be decorated in the Hollywood theme including walk of Fame stars on the floor, a huge disco ball, the Red Carpet, the famous Hollywood sign, all the lights and glitz that go with Hollywood. We will also have food, music, pictures, and what Prom wouldn’t be complete without a crowning of the King and Queen?! Our wonderful ladies will have their hair done, make-up on and all decked out in Prom dresses that were donated by Catholic Charities in Mattoon. The men will accompany their “dates” in suits with everyone ready to have a wonderful time. For some this is the only Prom they have attended and for others, this event takes them back in time to their own Prom. We are very grateful to the many volunteers from EIU that will be assisting us with this amazing event. We encourage everyone to come experience our Senior Prom. For more information please contact Stacy at 217-345-7054.
