It was April 14, 1975 when a first meeting was held to form a senior’s Drop in Centre in Zurich. The group chose the name "ZURICH GOLDEN AGERS”. Several seniors worked very hard to convert the basement of the township Hall into two meeting rooms, and named the rooms "The Den" and the "Drawing Room". In early years the Den became a domain for the men to work or play games. And the drawing room was used for social activities and quilting parties. The den was the home of the Solo Club until December of 2009 when things changed dramatically.

The building at 10 Victoria Street has been vacated and closed. The Golden Agers now meet at Maplewood’s located across the road from the Blue Water Rest Home

The Solo Club have moved to the Zurich Arena Complex (Meeting room ) and meet on Mondays at noon,

Shuffleboard is played Monday morning at 9:00a.m. at Zurich Arena complex

The Quilters' Guild have moved to the Lutheran Church Hall and meet the third Monday at 1:30p.m.

No meetings in July and August

Over the year’s card parties, picnics and bus trips have been enjoyed as well as Line dancing and exercise classes. The Golden Agers joined the UNITED SENIOR CITIZENS OF ONTARIO in 1976
