On Oct 25, 2006,  we initiate the topic "Should we register SilverHairsClub?"  You can follow up the comments here:   https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/2006\/10\/402<\/a><\/p>\n

I have given this some thought and discussion to the feedback.  In short, I prefer to to keep the SHC as it is now.<\/p>\n

As observed by members, there are advantages and benefits in having SilverHairsClub as a registered club in Singapore.  A registered club enhances recognition with other organisations, meets some of the concerns of public gatherings and enables SHC to collect funds to support membership and activities.<\/p>\n

The SilverHairsClub is intended to be platform for over 45s to meet new and more friends.  This is its objective.  As a result, many SilverHairs have met new SilverHairs, and have their own new-found activities.  SilverHairs initiate their own sub-groups eg in cycling, nature walks, travelling, games, karaoke, IT training and online selling.<\/p>\n

SHC is intended to prepare SilverHairs into the many years ahead.  Finding good friends is important. We must find the environment to meet our social needs.  SilverHairs have many needs.   As such, we support healthy and active activities, hobbies, discussion groups on retirement living, small business groups and continued work to supplement our SilverHairs expenses.  SilverHairs’ interests can be pretty varied. <\/p>\n

My concern is the massive time, administrative and financial resources required to manage these activities under the umbrella of the club.  Unfortunately, I cannot manage all these new needs, as I travel 3\/4 of the month.  But, I am prepared for changes, if someone volunteers to take the lead.  You just need to raise your hand.<\/p>\n

As you have seen in 2006, we have the monthly gatherings.  All SilverHairs are informed on this website or a simple email.  All other activities and groups are formed on members’ initatives. There is flexibility and creativeness.<\/p>\n

SilverHairsClub is small.  We will stay within the limits of the law.  As you know, our rules are pretty well observed by members; and these include no discussions on religion, sex, race, politics, direct selling and MLM. We will not collect membership fees.  Only costs incurred will be shared among participants.<\/p>\n

In summary, I prefer to stay and run the way we are now.  You probably have not heard this view from me before.  Stay with the law, maintain the club taboos, no membership fees, support SilverHairs activities and keep the club simple and manageable.<\/p>\n

I am sure there is agreement and disagreements.  Your views are most welcome.  Please share it.<\/p>\n
