J.O.Y. Senior Day at the Zoo

Wednesday, May 27th

9:00-3:00 pm

We’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo! How about you, you, you?

Wednesday May 27 is Senior Day at the Detroit Zoo! Seniors 62 and older (from the tri-county area) may visit free of charge and are each allowed to bring one adult guest (who does not have to be a senior). Parking is free as well!

We’ll arrive at the zoo at 9:30 and can participate in complimentary activities which include: bingo tent with prizes, senior resource area, train and carousel rides, cookies, lemonade and water, tram tours, animal engagement hosted by care staff, live entertainment, and of course visiting the zoo’s wildlife and beautiful paths.

You may be asked for ID so be prepared to show it at the gate.

Bring your own lunch for a picnic together(location/time tbd) before we head home.

While parking is free at the zoo that day, lots may be crowded. Those who would like to meet at GPC and carpool over be at church by 9:00.

We will meet at the blue Detroit Zoo sign at the front of the gates to go in as a group at 9:30.

Please use SignUp Genius to RSVP and indicate whether you will be meeting us at the zoo, or meeting at GPC to carpool. Be sure to sign up your guest with your response! RSVPby Tuesday, May 26.

If you are not yet 62 but would like to go, contact Fran Ahern or Nancy Youngerman so we can try to pair you up with a person who is not already bringing a guest.

J.O.Y. is an informal group of adults of all ages who enjoy spending time together in joyful fellowship. Our goal is to make connections with our church family and spend quality time getting to know each other better.

We generally try to have an event or gathering once a month from September -May-sometimes the gathering is at GPC and other times we carpool to outside locations, such as museums, restaurants, nature centers etc.

How can you find out about our activities? Information about J.O.Y. Group events is included in Friday updates, Sunday bulletins, Sunday morning slides prior to services, and the newsletter, however, sometimes events are planned and miss the deadline for being included in those communications.

So, the most direct way to be informed is to be on the J.O.Y. list serve-this way information is emailed right to you.

If you are not already on the list serve and would like to begin receiving flyers/info about upcoming events, please contact Nancy Youngerman to have your contact information added to the list serve.
