David, Charlie, and Kristin (above, l to r), danced the night away to their favorite Elvis tunes.

Elvis was alive and well at St. Louis Center as residents, families, staff, and friends gathered for an evening filled with classic hits, dancing, laughter, and audience participation on April 25th. 
Jim Laurain delighted the crowd with his energetic Elvis tribute while musician Jim Duprey provided live keyboard accompaniment. Together they kept the music going as residents sang along, danced, and enjoyed playful interactions with the King of Rock and Roll. 
Members of the St. Louis Center Family Association joined the celebration, dancing alongside residents, staff, and even Fr. Franklin. One of the evening’s biggest highlights came when resident Lee C. proudly stepped into the role of Elvis’ personal bodyguard, staying close to the King throughout the show.  
Fr. Satheesh was in awe of the impact the performance had. Elvis drew even the most reserved residents into the excitement. From the opening song to the final encore, the evening celebrated music, friendship, and left St. Louis Center “all shook up.”
