YOUNG AT HEART — WEEKLY NEWS
Week of September 21, 2026
ANOTHER GREAT WEEK IN THE BOOKS!
Another week is in the books at Young at Heart! 
It is hard to believe that September is already nearing its end. Where did the month go? 
We had a wonderful September Birthday Brunch and had the chance to celebrate some pretty great folks! 
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning special.
Following brunch, Amber from Home Repair and Services shared her “Your Life in a Binder” presentation. What a great reminder that having our important information organized in one place can make life easier—not only for us, but also for our families when they need it. 
Thank you, Amber, for sharing such useful information with us!
A BIG THANK YOU TO KARLA!
We also want to give a special shout-out to our new Senior Program Coordinator, Karla Thompson!
Karla has jumped right in and is doing such a GREAT job. Her enthusiasm, willingness to help, and warm personality have been wonderful additions to Young at Heart.
THANK YOU, KARLA, FOR JOINING THE YAH TEAM!
We are so happy to have you!
READY FOR A LITTLE CHALLENGE?

Whether you’re coming to win or just coming to have fun, there’s always plenty of both! 
FIRE & SAFETY — IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL OF US!
On Wednesday, September 23, we will welcome a Grand Rapids firefighter who will share important information about fire prevention and safety. 
11:00 AM
Bring your BROWN BAG lunch and plan to stay afterward to eat, visit and chat with friends.
Come with your questions—you may learn something that could make a real difference in keeping you and your home safer!
DON’T FORGET — BRING A FRIEND!
Time is running out!
Remember to BRING A NEW FRIEND to Young at Heart and get your name entered into our drawing for a:
$25 GIFT CARD!
Every new participant you bring gives you another entry. So there is still time to get your name in that drawing one more time…or maybe several more times! 
The drawing takes place Monday, September 28 at 10:00 AM.
Please come for the drawing—and STAY because we have a FULL day of activities planned!
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 — WHAT A DAY!
We have packed a LOT into one Monday!

Someone is going home with that $25 gift card! Will it be YOU?
10:30 AM — FOUNDATIONS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Scott Looman returns to Young at Heart for what promises to be another interesting presentation.
Scott did such a wonderful job with his History of Michigan series, and we are happy to have him back!
Presentation + Meals on Wheels Lunch — $10
Lunch Only — $5
And we’re STILL not finished…
TEAM TRIVIA!
Stay after lunch, gather your team and put those thinking caps on. Team Trivia is challenging, competitive, full of laughs—and it never disappoints!
Check your calendar and plan to spend the day with us!
ZUMBA IS BACK!
Dust off those dancing shoes because we are VERY happy to welcome back ZUMBA!
Tuesday, September 29 Instructor Elsie from the YMCA will be back to get us moving!
Come ready to move, laugh, enjoy the music and have a dancing good time! 
September may be winding down, but Young at Heart certainly isn’t!
Come for an activity. Stay for the friendship. Bring someone new. And most importantly—keep showing up and being part of what makes Young at Heart such a special place.
Respectfully,
