The new arrivers began to style hair, apply make-up, do nails, help dress the residents in their finest party attire and pin on special corsages; then, finally, after dinner, it was time! Upon entering a purple and silver ballroom, which until a few hours before had been the dining room, the guests - in wheelchairs, on walkers or on the arms of supporting friends - were greeted by music from the turntable of "The Boss Lady." The fun started as they began to move to the beat. The walkers swayed. Wheelchairs glided over the floor, pro pelled by the volunteers, and some residents left their chairs and began lo dance.
