Members of the Johnson County Senior Center enjoyed a special treat on Monday, May 16. Prayoon Royston of Monsoon Thai & Exotic Foods dropped by to share her cooking knowledge and parables of her experience since emigrating to America. Approximately 75 seniors joined in on this activity.

Each participant learned how to create egg rolls according to recipes passed down through generations in Royston’s family. They also received egg rolls and chicken fried rice as refreshments as the mother of three shared her story.  Royston’s egg rolls are in high demand, and she reports multiple restaurants have reached out hoping to serve them in their facilities as well.

The venue change held special significance to some attendees. As many know, the senior center was initially the Johnson County High School gym before moving to the hill. Several attendees reported attending their high school prom in the same building. Several guests reminisced over their previous experiences.
