Hi all SilverHairs,
SilverHairsClub August update
The SilverHairsClub has been very successful because of your participation. Having SilverHairs means differently to each of us. Our concerns are real. Jobs, health and finance are real concerns. And finding friendship when we get old can keep our spirits high. It is important to look good, put on your green shorts and yellow snickers, wear pink spectacles, see the world 3 months a year and have a small job or business.
I like to urge you to read the SilverHairsClub.com every week. Write your thoughts and ideas, no matter how crazy you think others might think of it. Let other SilverHairs know you. We are all over 45. Not shy lah.
1. August gathering
Date/Time: Fri Aug 25, 2006, from 1800 – 2000 hrs. Opens at 1730 hrs.
Venue: Caffe Bastillava, inside MPH, 63 Robinson Road, between Raffles MRT and Tanjong Pagar MRT.
No entrance fees, just order your drinks from the cafe. One member will speak on the topic "How to register and use the HDB flat for a small business?" To register, simply add a comment here.

7. Business ideas
Some SilverHairs are actively working on a few business ideas. If you are interested in joining a group for discussion, please read this post.
8. Retirement eco-concepts
Eco-village concept has caught the attention of a number of SilverHairs. Ronald Wi is initiating a group to take this topic further. The likely place for the meeting will be Evelyn’s place. If you are interested in Eco-village retirement ideas, please look at some postings from Ronald Wi on the website. Please contact him on the website.
9. Jobs
SilverHairsClub encourages the posting of job offers to SilverHairs. We do not vet the offers, and as long as they keep outside the club’s taboos, we would let the job postings be published.
10. 2GreenDots.com
The 1st intake of specialty shops will close on 31 Aug 2006. If you would like to have a shop name on 2GreenDots.com, please note the deadline. Specialty shops are for SHC members.
If you like to contribute, do let William Chew, Margaret Lee, Loh Yew Kwong, Charles Wee, Dolly Lim or myself know.
The SilverHairsClub is intended as a platform for Singaporeans, over 45, to meet new and more friends.

You are probably looking at your 2006 Calendar :(

Read June’s comments so I went to the site.
Sorry I am quite new member also leh.
I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Then I realise its the archive section.
Sorry Terence. I thought you were so blur. Guess who is “blurrer”
Hi June,
I just follow blindly. Its hilarious!!!
Guess this is what we call “lau lung piao” ha ha!
Terence,
It’s time to change your spectacles to a reading glass. Always read the wrong date. (August’s gathering). Really “lau liao lah” ha ha..
We will try to close all old Post, once we figure out how to do so.
Meantime, continue with reading glasses.
