Bringing the Heart Back to College Park, GA

Dear Neighbors,

It is my honor to invite the cherished seniors of Ward 4 and the entire City of College Park to our Annual Valentine’s Senior Social.

This year, we are celebrating under the theme "Back in Love"—a tribute to the love we have for our community and the appreciation we hold for our elders. We are thrilled to return to the Gateway Center Arena to provide you with a true red-carpet experience, complete with world-class entertainment, dancing, and joy.

This event is our gift to you. It is 100% free, but space is limited, so please follow the instructions below to reserve your seat today.
