On October 1st, Senior Citizens' Day is celebrated and to commemorate the date, the Instituto Aço Cearense (IAC) and the Associação Escola de Campeões promoted the Forró dos Idosos last Friday (28), with lots of entertainment and social services.
The event took place at the Association's gym, and the entertainment was provided by the Musicar'te Jacaré do Repente Group, which provided great music. Free health and beauty services were also offered during the event, including haircuts, barbering, massage therapy, eyebrow shaping, manicures, and makeup.
Maria do Socorro Mendes, from the Ivete Alcântara Senior Citizens Group in São Gonçalo do Amarante, commented: "I loved today's event. I danced a lot of forró and got my nails done. I thought it was all great, fun, and I really enjoyed participating. It was great!" she said excitedly.
Approximately 200 seniors participated in the event, including residents of the Mestre Antônio de Caucaia neighborhood and surrounding areas, as well as caravans from São Gonçalo do Amarante and other municipalities in the state. "The joy and satisfaction of the seniors was contagious!" said Rosemeire Matos, President of the Instituto Aço Cearense.
