A night to remember took place on May 19th for the senior   Citizens of Hoboken. Division Head of Hoboken Senior Services, Tom Foley, along with Michelle Flett, brought back the Senior Prom after Hoboken Catholic Academy and Principal Matthew McGrath happily agreed to host this event. Many sponsors in town such as Lucy Melendez, Anthony Romano, Eugene Flinn, Ed Madigan, Cosmo Sancilo, Joe Mindak, and more contributed to assure that everyone who attended got the full experience. Empire Realty provided a flower corsage to each senior as they entered the prom. The Hoboken Elks Club graciously donated the food, Frank Raia donated dessert, and the children of the Hoboken Catholic Academy’s Youth Ministry Program served as waiters and waitresses for the evening. 30s, 40s, and 50s music filled the room and everyone had a blast!
