Order NOW for Christmas Meals on Wheels
Christmas Meal + Breakfast Delivery or Curbside Pick Up

Our Thanksgiving Meal service was a huge success! More than 200 meals were delivered or picked up at the senior center. It was a wonderful morning filled with gratitude, smiles and good cheer. Thanks to all who volunteered and donated.
 
The awesome response means we are offering a similar program again for Christmas!  Any township 50+ resident may order the Christmas meal by calling the center before Thursday, Dec. 17.
 
This special opportunity to enjoy a Christmas meal without the shopping, cooking and cleanup starts with registration by phone or online. Meals will be portioned individually and include a beverage, several sides and holiday dessert (menu below).  Please order in advance for $8 per person. We are accepting donations to assist low-income seniors with complimentary holiday meals.

Come say “hello” on Christmas morning during your drive by for curbside pickup or you may request volunteer delivery to your door with advance registration.

Detroit History Tours -
Virtual Trip to the Detroit Zoo
Tuesday, December 8 1:30 PM

Join the award winning historians of Detroit History Tours for a Complimentary virtual presentation.

You’ll explore the oddities of the city’s Victorian era zoo which housed sea lions who swam in shallow pools, polar bears that enjoyed Michigan's winters, and a kangaroo that once escaped all the way to Grosse Pointe! Together you’ll flip though postcards of the fabled Detroit’s Children’s Zoo- learning about the guinea pigs' very strange enclosure. We conclude with the modern day Detroit Zoo, and the mayor who almost missed the ribbon cutting because of a 12 foot bear!

How to Keep Our Brains Healthy As We Age

Virtual Presentation
Wednesday, December 9
10 AM – 11:30 AM

Join Lynn Breuer, LMSW, CHC for a fun, informative and interactive presentation on the aging brain’s health and wellness, including the most recent non-pharmacological research and an introduction to cognitive fitness.

Just like we make time to go to the gym to strengthen our muscles and keep our bodies as healthy and strong as possible, we also need to give our brains regular exercise to fight normal cognitive changes that come with aging and to optimize our cognitive abilities. Cognitive fitness classes are an evidence-based program developed to help maintain and stimulate six major functions of the brain – reaction time, visual spatial skills, attention, memory, language and problem solving.

Call 248-723-3500 to register or register online.
