Executive Director’s Corner

Happy Monday, Friends!

Every week I’m reminded that Young at Heart isn’t just a place to attend activities—it’s a place where friendships grow, laughter is shared, and everyone is welcome. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, trying a new class, or simply stopping in to visit, we’re so glad you’re part of our family.

If you’ve been thinking about inviting a friend, this is the perfect week! There’s always room for one more smile, one more laugh, and one more new friendship.

Have a wonderful week, and I look forward to seeing you around the center!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I have a Frederik Meijer Gardens membership. Will my price be lower?
Unfortunately, no. This is already a discounted group package, and memberships cannot be applied.

Q: Can I skip lunch and pay less?
Not at this time. Our group package requires at least 20 boxed lunches. If we don’t reach that number by the registration deadline, we’ll remove lunch for everyone and everyone will pay the lower price.

Q: Can I invite a friend?
Absolutely! We’d love to have them join us. It’s a wonderful opportunity to introduce someone to Young at Heart while enjoying a fantastic outing together.
