Every single Senior Activity Center event in October is sold out — casino trips, luncheons, plays and the Detroit Zoo trip. Staff extended hours and are testing afternoon activities to keep up with demand.
Recreation Commission - Sep 1, 2026
The senior center is now open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., celebrated with a 'New Beginnings' open house that drew ~100 people, 10 new member sign-ups, and about $1,000 in sales in one day. Coordinator Delmege wants to treat this year as a trial before possibly adding evening hours.
Recreation Commission - Jan 6, 2026
The center is open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., which shuts out seniors who still work. The coordinator wants to extend hours to 4:30 p.m. with a full-time staff member, a request that failed at council last year.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
