The Pottstown Area Seniors’ Center raised more money for their capital campaign with a swinging gala on Saturday, March 14.
Nearly 100 people turned out for the second annual Golden Apple Gala at Brookside Country Club in Pottstown.
The dress was formal, but the mood was light as attendees danced the night away to the sounds of Betsy Chapman on harp during the cocktail hour, followed by the West Chester Swing Kings.
The big announcement for the night came just before dinner when executive director Brian Parkes announced that renovations of the senior center’s new building on Moser Road would begin in early April.

“I expect us to be moving in to our new building by the end of the summer,” said Parkes. “It is an exciting time for everyone who has been waiting and contributing for this.”
The gala raised nearly $15,000 for the campaign to complete the renovations of their building on Moser Road in Pottstown. The building is the former site of the Pottstown Health Club.

Donations are still needed to offset the money the senior center is borrowing to complete the renovations, and the campaign will continue through the renovation process.
Donations to the campaign may be sent to PASC, 288 Moser Road, Suite 1, Pottstown, PA 19464.
Once renovations are complete, the senior center will have more than 18,000 square feet of programming and office space where it expects to serve 200 seniors a day.
