On March 25, SSA celebrated their 55th anniversary during their annual silent auction and gala. Donita Greene and retired sheriff Dana Lawhorne were this year’s honorees. The Reverend Dr. George Pera and former Mayor of Alexandria Kerry Donley posthumously received the Lifetime of Service awards. Nonprofit SSA’s mission is “to foster independence and self-sufficiency, enabling seniors within the City of Alexandria to age with dignity.”
