Registered participants:
I have been following up with your ideas on small business for yourself and Silverhairs. Also, from our various gatherings, I see that many Silverhairs are looking out for something to do. Annie, Veron, Yew Kwong, KC and Linda, you have provided the neucleus to get this idea moving for the club.
We can make this possible for all of us, and we have plans and resources to promote these ideas. As a result of the many meetings in the last few months, we have got someone in India to design up a website. This is an internet shopping mall site for Silverhairs. It is called 2GreenDots.com.
2GreenDots (funny name) is now a working site, 99% ready. We start fresh today.
For SilverhairsClub, the design team has also thought of something different from typical internet shopping malls. This is the specialty shops, which Silverhairs can use. Silverhairsclub members can have a shop name of his/her own.
Examples,
Annie Loh can have "Annie’s Jewellery",
Yew Kwong can have "Yew Kwong IT shop",
Linda Chong can have "Linda’s Corner",
Sophia can have "Sophia cook books",
Veron Chua can have "Veron office services",
KC Lau can have "KC computer shop"n
Patrick Yeo can have "Patrick’s tourism outlet",
Every registered Silverhairs can have a shop in 2GreenDots shopping mall.
Restrictions:
2GreenDots shopping mall will be moderated.
Strictly no messages eg Make instant money, MLM ads, duplicate advertising, fishing ads.
Ads which are related to politics, phonography, racial are prohibited. These ads will be removed.
All services available in 2GreenDots.com are free to SilverHairsClub members.
To start:
Prepare your own pictures on your PC.
Go into 2GreenDots.com
Register yourself, need your email address.
Upload your pictures, and write your own description.
2GreenDots is new, recently conceptualised, so we give it a go. We set a target date for every shop to be running by end July 2006. The quicker you prepare your products and services, the better. Official launch date is 1 Jan 2007.
So, if you have your own products and services, and like to so through 2GreenDots, please send me an email, indicating your name of shop. The website designer will then add your shop name to the site. Closing date: 10 July 2006.
Have fun, and as I said before, Silverhairs years can be meaningful and exciting. Like many of you, I am a firm believer that retirement is something we look forward to, but with today’s economic conditions, some level of economic activity can keep us through our SilverHairs years. A healthy Silverhairs lifestyle eg walking and cycling is essential too.
Vincent Khoo is currently leading a group on a one week trip to Chonburi. This is the 2nd trip organised this year. Chonburi is one of the largest provinces in Thailand, with a large Chinese community. Vincent has based the group at a beach side resort, with access to supermarkets, hospitals, public transport and a wide variety of food and amenities.
The trip follows an earlier SilverHairsClub discussion on how to stretch the Singapore dollar during one’s retirement years. The target set is SGD 500 per month, inclusive meals and board.
Vincent’s next trip is to Chiangmai. Members interested, please contact Vincent by SMS at +661 555-9950.or +65 9194-5377. He does not have email access.
