Fred Ellis leads a sing-along at Hilltop facilities twice a month. His big, booming voice fills the halls with music, which the residents enjoy.
Fred loves to sing. So much so, when Angie Loucks of the United Way Volunteer Center asked him to be part of the program, he agreed to lead attendees at the breakfast in “You are My Sunshine.”
Later, during the presentation of awards, he said he wished he could have done one more, so Tari Jahns, United Way of Inner Wisconsin CEO, invited him to wrap up the program with another song. He taught us the “Senior Citizen Shuffle.”
Our video captures snippets of these songs and some snapshots from the event. We are grateful to Fred for the time he volunteers with us and at other facilities in the central Wisconsin area. Many thanks to Fred and his wife, Marilyn, for attending the event!
