Elvis Presley tribute artist Tyler Christopher will be the main attraction when the Highland County Senior Citizens Center resumes its popular fundraising events on Saturday, July 31.
Mechell Frost, executive director of the senior center, said that while it was able to hold a few minor fundraisers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the center has not held an in-house event since before the center closed on March 20, 2020, and the few events it held did not bring in nearly the revenue that the in-house events have in the past.

Lakes
It all happened so fast. One day Margi Lakes moved out of her house and in with a niece, the niece soon noticed that Lakes’ did not seem healthy, cancer treatments started and then stopped, and Lakes passed away in hospice care in April.
Less than four months passed from the day she moved to the day the longtime employee of the Rocky Fork AMVETS and Hillsboro Eagles died.
“Margi was a very caring and loving person,” said Mica Napier, the niece Lakes moved in with. “She was always helping members of the Eagles and AMVETS, or visiting the nursing homes and helping people she knew there.”
