They have a beautiful new indoor arena and a heated observation room. If the weather is nice- we will also en-joy a hayride around the farm. Please note: The senior center will be making a donation to the farm on your behalf that day; however if you would like to donate further to their efforts, you can bring a gift card to Home Depot, Menards, TSC or Family Farm that day. You can also make a mone-tary donation, if you would like.

After our farm visit we will travel to Marine City for lunch at Anita’s Riverfront Grille. Entrée choices are #1-Fish & Chips, #2-Hickory Burger, #3-Chicken Salad Pita, #4-Traverse City Michigan Cherry Salad or #5-Garden Pizza.

You can choose to shop at the bakery, gourmet popcorn store, gift shops and Sweet Tooth- where you can buy old-fashioned candy, assorted chocolates, ice cream, and so much more!

You will find ginormous hanging baskets, wee faerie plants, herbs, annuals, scented geraniums, topiaries, and so many other interesting plants. Lovely garden accents such as trellises, benches, cement statues, and unusual containers will also charm you. After our tour, you will enter their garden where the refreshing sounds of falling water accompany you as you stroll through their gazebo, travel to the faerie garden, pass under pergolas, ginormous hanging baskets, annuals, and a large fountain where fish play among the water lilies. As you continue strolling through the plants, your next stop is the teleidoscope garden where you will discover the excitement of blending kaleidoscope mechanics with the swirling colors of a flower pot. Lastly, you can visit their shoppe, which is housed in a barn built in 1910 and features a façade painted to look like three European store fronts.

Intergenerational Fun Day! Thursday, June 21, 2018 10:30 am - 11:30 am FREE!

Would you like to spend an hour feeling and acting like a kid again? Then come to our intergenerational fun day on Thurs-day, June 21. Volunteer resident Emily Lester will be at the Center with her two year old son Oliver and seven year old daughter Lillie. You will have fun interacting as well as doing coloring pages, having a sing along and even being read to from the children. You can even try out a game of shuffleboard together. It will surely put a smile on not just your faces, but theirs as well! Socializing across generations has been shown to increase the amount of smiling and conversation among older adults, according to one Japanese study from 2013. Nu-merous studies have also linked social interaction with de-creased loneliness, delayed mental decline, lower blood pres-sure, and reduced risk of disease and death in elders. Refresh-ments will also be included.

SHARP Program Senior Home Assistance & Repair Program

SHARP – Madison Heights has a program to help seniors, those that are physically challenged, and deployed servicemen and women in Madison Heights with home maintenance. The program is co-sponsored through the North Woodward Com-munity Foundation (of Troy). Volunteers perform chores & simple tasks that help seniors keep their homes safe and liva-ble. Seniors pay only for the materials, not the labor. If you or someone you know is interested, call the Senior Center at 248-545-3464 for assistance.

The Gift of Time Too many of our older and disabled neighbors are lonely and isolated. They long for just a brief visit now and then from someone who will take the time to sit and chat. And other families in our community are struggling to take care of a loved one at home. For these full-time caregivers, a break to run errands, go to their own doctor appointments, or just to relax for an hour is often impossible because their parent or spouse cannot be left alone.

If you have a few hours, once or twice a month, to visit or just sit with an older or disabled adult, your gift of time will make a huge difference for our lonely and struggling neigh-bors. No hands-on care or nursing experience is needed. For more information, call the Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers at (586) 757-5551. www.ivcinfo.org

Now Accepting Credit/Debit Cards!

For your convenience, the Senior Center is now able to accept Credit/Debit cards as a form of payment! There will be a small processing fee for each transaction. Credit card payment will be taken in person only from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm daily.

The Senior Center is in need of a few volunteers to tend to the small rose garden located at the front of the Cen-ter. A seasoned “green thumbed” gardener is not neces-sary.

Motor City Brass Band (MCBB) is ranked among the top com-petition brass bands in North America. Its roots derive from Britain's 200-year-old venerable brass band heritage. MCBB was established in 1996 by John Aren, a Salvation Army officer and former member of the then current National Champion Illi-nois Brass Band. With musical director Craig Strain at the helm as conductor, arranger, and composer for the group since its inception, MCBB continues to musically define itself as an inte-gral part of the growing national brass band movement. MCBB has performed throughout the state as well as Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, & Ontario, Canada.

The Band annually participates in the First Section of the North American Brass Band Association (NABBA) Championships and, in 2001, released its first CD “After Five”. The band has shared the stage with some of Detroit area's finest ensembles and has featured some of its own stellar players in other perfor-mances. Through its performances across the region, events such as the Motor City Festival of Bands, and numerous school out-reach concerts, Motor City Brass Band is certainly living up to its motto, "It's more than a concert, it's a SHOW!"

Join us for an evening with the Motor City Brass Band. They will be playing a wide range of music from classical to jazz, pop, rock to sacred. There will truly be something for everyone to enjoy!

A Frazzled Farmer’s Conundrum

A farmer has just visited a local market and has bought a wolf, a goat and a cabbage. However, the shortest way home involves a river crossing, and the farmer has a very small boat. Which can only carry the farmer and one of the purchases. • Only the farmer can row the boat • If the farmer leaves the goat alone with

the wolf you can imagine what might happen

• Similarly, the goat would love to be alone with the cabbage!

Can you help the farmer get everything to the other side of the river?

hang around outside of the Center. Now they have decided to come

inside and cause mischief. Each month they will be hiding in a different place in the Center and the newsletter. Find them and let us know. Don’t give

your answer away to anyone else though. At the end of each month we

will reveal their location and draw a winner for the cor-

rect guesses for both the newsletter and the center.

Soup Donations

Do you love Ray’s soup as much as we do? Here’s how you can help make sure the soup doesn’t run dry! Ray generously makes soup for every-one each day. While he does not charge for the soup, we all know how expensive supplies for the soup can be. Please consider making a donation to help fund the making of the soups so the burden doesn’t always fall on Ray and he can keep providing this delicious service for you.
