Local men are encouraged to dust off their tool boxes and get involved with the newly created Grand Traverse Men’s Shed Association. The Men’s Shed is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing a “warm and welcoming” clubhouse where older residents and retirees can gather and socialize, enjoy a cup of coffee, and access tools and other equipment to work on community-oriented projects.
Sometimes men don't want to admit they need companionship despite feeling lonely, especially after retirement. But one man is looking to change that, giving a generation of retired men a whole new purpose in life. TODAY’s Craig Melvin reports on Jim Novack’s Men’s Shed community.
