Join us for a docent led tour of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). We will take the D2A2 bus from Blake Transit Center across from the Ann Arbor downtown public library, to Grand Circus Park in Detroit, then hop on the QLINE to the DIA near Wayne State University. After the tour we will have some time to roam on our own or shop in the gift store. We will meet in the DIA restaurant for a group lunch and then, depending on time available, we will head to either Campus Martius or the riverfront for a bit of sightseeing. The bus back to Ann Arbor leaves at 2:45 for an arrival back in Ann Arbor at 3:45 p.m. Joan Bulmer has been involved with Elderwise for 15 years, and is always looking for new adventures. In addition to her duties as Treasurer, she is on the Curriculum Program Team lining up speakers, and on the Tech Team assisting in the classroom. Joan teaches sewing classes, and now is leading her third Elderwise trip to Detroit. She is happy to report that no one has ever been left behind and all have had a good time! Please note there will be a fair amount of walking on this trip, and the cost of lunch is not included. Additional important information will be emailed to class registrants a few days before the tour.
