“It is an opportunity to enrich our senior’s lives and provide musical enjoyment for them, plus it welcomes the chance to help the development of our young musicians,” says Hazel Fenn, Site Manager of Age Well Senior Services.

Lion's Heart is a community service organization for boys and girls in grades 6-12 in Orange County and nationally. Each group elects their own officers that lead meetings and decide how to serve the community. 

“Songs and Shades of Summer” was coordinated by Margot Ferron, volunteer for Age Well Senior Services. This is not the first time they have worked with Ferron.  In the past, the organization has made cookies and cards for Halloween, Valentines Day and Mothers Day for Age Well Senior Services. 

“Members of Lion's Heart in Mission Viejo and the surrounding area have eagerly volunteered more than 91,000 hours to the community,” according to Terry Corwin, co-founder.

Music is so powerful in many ways – it can lift our spirits, sooth and spark many emotions. This is just one way to show our seniors we haven’t forgotten them. Again, Lion’s Heart showed they have strong hearts.
