Cruisin' Along

JSL's Senior Dream
Cruise takes residents
back in time.

M

ore than 60 classic cars
sparkled on the Applebaum
Campus in West Bloomfield
on Aug. 13 for Jewish Senior Life's
seventh annual Senior Dream Cruise.
Residents sat in chairs to ensure their
view in the front row for the parade of
classic cars. With ice cream and music of
the '40s, '50s and '60s, the older adults
enjoyed being outside on the sunny after-
noon as they cheered on the cruisers.
The oldest car, a Ford, dated back to
1909.
As each vehicle drove by, residents
were reminded of fond memories they
shared with family and friends as they
reflected on the types of cars they had
owned over the years.
Prior to the cruise, Libby Lavine,
program coordinator, and Dream Cruise
announcer Barbara Giles, along with JSL
CEO Rochelle Upfal, welcomed cruisers
at a luncheon. Father-son duo Nick and
Art Cervi cruised for the third consecu-
tive year, saying they do everything they
can to make it to the Senior Dream
Cruise.
