East Bay Township resident Shirley Bowman has been going to the Grand Traverse County Senior Center Network for over 20 years, but this past year has been different.
“I actually haven’t been in the Senior Center since everything was shut down,” Bowman said. “We’re coming close to a year now.”

“They are the most vulnerable to this particular illness,” said Alisa Korn President of Grand Traverse County Parks and Recreation and the Senior Center Network. “They have lost their family and friends coming around and they’ve lost a lot of their activities.”
