Farmington Hills and Farmington veterans can attend a free Veterans Day luncheon on Nov. 11, but they must register by Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The city's Special Services Adults 50 & Better Division will host the celebration at 11 a.m. at the Costick Activities Center, 28600 W. Eleven Mile Road, according to a city announcement. The event runs until 1 p.m., according to the city's October Messenger newsletter.
The program includes an honor guard ceremony, a recitation of veterans' names and a luncheon. Space is limited, and no walk-ins will be accepted.
"Each year, we are proud to recognize the courage, resilience, and dedication of the veterans in our community," said Marsha Koet, senior division supervisor for the Farmington Hills Special Services Department. The celebration "provides an opportunity for them to share their stories and connect with one another," Koet said.
American House of Farmington Hills is sponsoring the luncheon for what the city describes as the 30th consecutive year.
Veterans living in Farmington or Farmington Hills attend free but must register by Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Costick Center front desk or by calling 248-473-1830.
Non-veterans are welcome and can register by the same deadline online at recreg.fhgov.com or in person at the Costick Center. The newsletter lists a $15 resident rate and an $18 nonresident rate, with the fee waived for Farmington and Farmington Hills veterans.
