Dear Friends,
August is off to a fantastic start as our first renovations began in the dining
room on July 26th. We look forward to moving back into the magnificent
dining room towards the end of the month. We appreciate your cooperation
as we temporarily serve all three meals in the atrium/lobby. They speak of
the lazy hazy days of summer, well at The Park at Trowbridge, our summer
days are anything but lazy. We hope you will sign up to join us as we travel
to the Detroit Public Library for a discussion with April Ryan, to see the new
highly acclaimed movie “Detroit” at the Maple, the Memories of Survival
exhibit at the Charach Gallery/JCC, a tour of the Edsel Ford House, Ray’s Ice
Cream, bowling at Plum Hollow and more… We have musical entertainment
to suit all tastes from Yana the Bayanist to Ben Opengeym and the Boogie
Woogie Kid-Matthew Ball. Remember to join our exercise classes 6 days a
week- tai chi, yoga and chair exercises. Our gardeners have been busy both
inside and outside. Soon dining services will incorporate our herbs and
veggies. Our talented knitters/crocheters continue to make beautiful hats
and scarves to be donated to those in need. Perhaps this is the month to try
something new!
July was full of activity as dining services kicked of the 4th of July with a lip
smacking bbq dinner, we enjoyed refreshing watermelon treats at Chef
Sarah’s Food Demo, made yummy chocolate covered pretzel treats, took a
relaxing boat ride on Kensington’s Island Queen, bet on our favorite ponies
at the Hazel Park Race Course and enjoyed the famous fried chicken and
other delectable dishes at Zenders Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth followed
by a tour of the St. Julian’s Winery and so much more…
We’ve been busy in the office signing new leases; we will meet with every
resident by the end of September. You will receive a letter notifying you of
the lease signing date and time and the amount of your new rent. Please
continue to pay your current rent for the month of August. We appreciated
your cooperation as all apartment locks were changed during the month of
July. Should you like to order additional keys, please stop at the reception
desk.
The Trowbridge Team appreciates and welcomes your questions and
suggestions and we thank you for your kindness, support and participation.
With Warm Regards,
Rochelle Upfal, Executive Director

Hallways
The hallways are NOT an extension of
your apartment. Please help us keep the
hallways tidy and free from hazards.
Shopping carts, FedEx and UPS boxes,
assistive devices, trash etc. may NEVER
be kept in the hallways. We have
shopping carts that you may borrow for
your convenience. They must be
returned as soon as you’ve brought
items into your apartment. Effective
immediately, items found in the hallways
will be disposed of. The reception desk
will accept delivery of your packages for
your pick up. If you choose to have
FedEx, UPS or any delivery service
deliver to your door, you MUST be home
to accept delivery. We appreciate your
prompt attention to this matter.
Activities and Programs Reminder
Due to renovations, we appreciate your patience and
understanding with the temporary change of program
locations throughout the building. Pay special attention to
your August Calendar and daily postings for updates.
Please direct to Haylee or Kiara. Thank you.
Toilet Overflows
We need your help! Too many toilets
have been overflowing creating a
tremendous mess and damage and loss of
property and work. Wipes may NEVER
be flushed down the toilet. Excess toilet
paper may NEVER be flushed down the
toilet. Paper towel may NEVER be
flushed down the toilet. You are
responsible if your toilet overflows.
Please help us to help you and your
neighbors. Please be mindful of what you
flush and remain in the bathroom to be
sure that the toilet flushes properly. If it
either looks like it is going to overflow or
starts to overflow and you are able,
please shut off the water with the shut off
valve. If you are unable to do so, please
call the office IMMEDIATELY. We
appreciate your immediate cooperation
in solving this problem.
