Senior Concerns, led by President Andrea Gallagher, celebrated a Moulin Rouge-themed Ultimate Dining fundraiser at the Hyatt Regency Westlake. Attendees were greeted by several local restaurants and beverage purveyors and then gathered for dinner and a very lively auction that raised many thousands of dollars for the valuable services that Senior Concerns provides to our senior community and their families.
