Hi Members<\/p>\n
We are proud 2 annouce that we had received an invitation from a Straits Times’ reporter who would like 2 interview our members on their interests n likes. Here’s the invitation :<\/p>\n
"Basically, I’m working on a special report on the Silver Dollar Industry. We want to highlight that this group of people (babyboomers in their 50s and 60s) are a very viable group of people who are willing to spend on their hobbies, interests, and things like traveling. Too often they are forgotten and neglected when actually they are the people with the spending power as well as the ones providing demand for niche services or activities. <\/p>\n
So I would be curious to interview members of your club who are very passionate about certain hobbies, e.g. appreciating wine, collecting luxury items, painting, gardening, skiing, extreme sports or even chasing idols – most importantly they must be people with a passion who are willing to spend and invest on their interests and hobbies. <\/font><\/p>\n Would really appreciate it if you could put me in touch with a few like minded people who are willing to be interviewed and photographed, in a group if they prefer. <\/font><\/p>\n Now for the questions: <\/font><\/p>\n What is the median age of members in the Silver Hairs Club? <\/font> And for those who are willing to be personally interviewed, <\/font>What are your spending habits like? Are there hobbies you spend on, for example, collecting figurines, gardening, golf, or fishing? How much do you spend on your hobbies in a month? <\/font><\/p>\n Apart from the daily necessities, what kind of items do you spend on on a regular basis? <\/font><\/p>\n Has the current recession affect in any way these spending habits? How? Do you find that you travel less or is travel considered a must-do for you? <\/font><\/p>\n Do you think that companies out there have are selling products that look into your needs as an older person? Why and how?<\/font><\/p>\n What are some of the products that you wish you could buy but are not available in the market? (eg. big sized font books.)<\/font><\/p>\n If you are interested, please give your names n topics here. Successful members will be notified.

Why was it set up, and by whom, when? <\/font>
Besides sports, what other activities are organized by the club? Are there wine and dine trips or food appreciation, art appreciation, golf trips? <\/font><\/p>\n\n
