Welcome to our November Newsletter! Here you will find details about our upcoming events. During this time of Thanksgiving we’d like to thank everyone for your continued support. We’ve grown a wonderful senior center family here, and we appreciate each and every one of you!  YOU make our center the friendly welcoming place it is. Don’t forget to follow our new Facebook page, “Friends Of Jarvis Township Seniors”. You can also go to troyseniorcenter.com to see all that’s going on at the center. 
 
Join us for our next Live and Learn! November 3rd at 1 pm at Wiesemeyer. The Troy Police department will be here to teach us how to do CPR, and how to use an AED defibrillator machine. Let’s learn what to do if someone's heart and breathing stop. AED’s are found in most public places, and they are very easy to use, but a little practice doesn’t hurt! We’ll do a basic CPR training as well. You never know when you could help save a life, it may be in your own home! Free to attend, RSVP is appreciated!
