July-August 2020
Our Northville Senior Services Transportation program keeps people social and independent. During the Coronavirus stay at home order we had a few staff people that were still coming to work and getting people to their critical appointments. One of these staff members was Joyce Drever, our new transportation coordinator. Here is a little bit more about her.
Joyce Drever is our new Transportation Coordinator. She and her husband have two sons and live in Canton with their dog, Sadie. Joyce grew up in Bay City, MI and Lake Jackson, TX. She graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with a degree in Marketing. Her favorite things to do besides spending time with her family are gardening, cooking/baking, exploring new places, interior decorating and architecture.
Please welcome our newest bus
driver Rodney Johnson.
Rodney is a retired manufactur-
ing executive that loves out-
doors, golfing and woodwork-
ing along with 5 grandchildren.

Anxiety and uncertainty are high as the world works to slow the spread of the coronavirus. If you are feeling
scared or anxious, it is okay to reach out for help. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services
launched a statewide warmline for Michiganders living with persistent mental health conditions. The warm-
line connects individuals with certified peer support specialists who have lived experiences of behavioral
health issues, trauma or personal crises, and are trained to support and empower the callers. The warmline is
open daily 10 am–2 am at 888.PEER.753 (888.733.7753).
