Blogger's Note: The following was provided by the TriCounty Active Adult Center.
The fourth annual Golden Apple Gala is less than one month away. This event raises money for the TriCounty Active Adult Center as they work to support older adults in the greater Pottstown region.
“We are planning another exciting event,” said Brian Parkes, executive director of the center. “Attendees will be treated to some great music, and we have a local award-winning couple demonstrating ballroom dancing.”
This year the event will honor Peggy Whittaker and the memory of Dr. Richard Whittaker.
“The Whittakers have been incredible supporters of our center, and of our community, and we are excited to be able to honor them in this way,” said Parkes. “We will be making a very special announcement at the Gala that will cement their legacy of generosity and positivity in Pottstown.”
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, March 4 at Brookside Country Club in Pottstown. Betsy Chapman will be featured on the harp, and the West Chester Swing Kings will provide entertainment after dinner.
