Classic Chevrolets, Corvettes and 
convertibles cruised past car-loving 
residents at Jewish Senior Life’s 15th 
Annual Senior Dream Cruise on 
Friday, Aug. 18, at the Prentis and Teitel 
Apartments in Oak Park. 
More than 100 guests from Jewish 
Senior Life’s Oak Park campus, including 
residents of its assisted living and memory 

care Colville Apartments, as well as from 
Meer and Hechtman Apartments in West 
Bloomfield, soaked up the sun, waved 
checkered flags, savored sweet summer 
treats and danced as 20 vintage automobiles 
paraded past them driven by local classic 
car owners from Metro Detroit. 
“Our residents look forward to this 
event every year because it is such a fun 

opportunity to spend time with friends 
from both Jewish Senior Life campuses,
” 
said Jo Strauz Rosen, executive director of 
development at Jewish Senior Life. 
 “The drivers, many of whom are 
longtime donors and supporters of JSL, 
enjoy it as much as the residents.
” 
 The Senior Dream Cruise was sponsored 
by AMAC Pharmacy Services.
