The Gladstone senior center was "shaken up" in the best way possible last week as Elvis (Todd Anderson) serenaded the crowd with all-time favorites, spreading an atmosphere of joy and nostalgia. His magnetic presence had everyone tapping their feet and singing along, creating cherished memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. Amidst the lively performance, there was a special moment that warmed our hearts.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Oak Meadows Senior Living for their generous support in making this event possible.
