The SilverHairsClub is a social club, mainly for Singaporeans, and targetting those who are 45 years and above. The Club’s key objective is to provide a platform for members to meet new and more friends.
SHC, in short for SilverHairsClub, revolves around a virtual club named SilverHairsClub.com. This is accessible by all members as well as members of the public. Members can enter the Club, as long as they have an userid and a password.
The Club has been very successful and active, and this is attributed to the many SHC members who help to bring other members together, by organising physical and real-life activities. Members who organise activities strictly for members are called Event Organisers EOs”; while members who organise activities for members as well as non-members, are called Event Coordinators ECs. All these roles are voluntary. In return, we encourage members to do their part by organising activities for other members too.
Every club has its rules; and SHC, being a social club, does not permit discussions on politics, race, religion, sex, direct selling and MLM on its forum and activities. We have been more relaxed on advertising, and we can now accept paid advertising. Cooperations with external organisations or groups can be made via its Corporate membership.
I have tried to handover the running of SHC to interested members, by mid 2013; but unfortunately, there has been no response or interest. While I would still keep this option as open, I think I would not delay a change further. Most of the feedback centred around having a committee. I have thought about it and shall give it a go. However, EOs and ECs are still free to continue to organise activities as they seem fit.
Currently, we have the following members providing supporting roles in SHC. They are:
- Loh Yew Kwong – supporting members who have difficulties with Posting and comments.
- Lily Ho – supporting members who have difficulties with Posting and comments.
- Dolly Lim – supporting members who have difficulties with Posting and comments.
- Lee King Seng – role of picture manager, uploading photos onto our website.
- Jassmine Teo – runs SHC online Fleamart, every month as a free personal advertising service to members.
- Membership role – role of increasing Club’s membership
- Media relations – Daniel Chan, liaising with media companies, interviews and spokesman
- Public relations role – Coordinating with external organisations
- Sports – supporting and encouraging more sports activities.
- Charity – encouraging and supporting more charity events.
- Small business – previously called the Round Table.
- Advertising – looking at means of generating advertising revenue.
- Jobs – encouraging and supporting job opportunities for SilverHairs.
- Others.
Generally, I am looking for members who are keen to serve on the committee. The roles are mainly to encourage and support different activities and topics., and not to organise activities as a key role. Some of the roles I am looking for are in membership, Public relations, Sports, Charity, small business, Jobs and Advertising. There are more; and we can definitely look at more roles, with the aim of supporting members needs.
I look forward to your ideas and thoughts.

SilverHairsClub has been very successful because of the wide participation of members. We are known among many Singaporeans, and we are also known in the media. And of course, we can do more.
Today, I like to announce that Daniel Chan will take up the role of Media relations and spokesman for the SilverHairsClub. He has kindly agreed to take up this challenging role.
DanielC is a very outspoken person. He writes well in both English and Chinese. He is also famiiar with different media, having written at different forums too. Daniel has been with SHC since Jan 2007.
Most of us may have met DanielC at the recent Lo-Hei gathering. He was the co-EO of the event. Behind the very outspoken person, he is often seen as quiet, unassuming and helpful. He has SHC at heart.
I like to thank DanielC for taking up this assignment. The term is two years.
On a note of change. I am generally a conservative person, prefers to stick by rules which I have set. I am sure you know my views and position when it comes to the Club’s forum. Well, I hope to be a little flexible, although not very much. I will take some directions from Daniel too.
Thanks again Daniel.
