\nother members on the internet, from your home. We have a Men’s night on Sat 18 Aug 2012.<\/span> <\/span>Click here for details<\/span> <\/span>https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/?p=4463<\/a>. <\/span> There is a ladies’ night too.<\/span> <\/span>Watch out for more details on SilverHairsClub.com when the organisers are ready with their details.<\/span> <\/p>\n
\nplease feel free to also write to me at terences@SilverhairsClub.com<\/a>. As SilverHairs and seniors, we can still reach
\nout to society and contribute to society. Currently, SilverHairs Enterprise is focused on opportunities in the
\npart-time area, for SHC members only, in areas of Eldersitting, errand runners, Office stand-ins, and Chinese tuition online.<\/p>\n
\nvolunteered as Enterprise administrators Jenny and Vivian, and a few members have already worked as part-time Eldersitters. Feedback from clients have been good.
\nIf you like to be an Eldersitter, read more about it in SilverHairsClub.com. We see there is a demand for eldersitters, and we intend
\nto recruit more eldersitters. <\/p>\n
\nhelp from participating members, we submited our proposal. Unfortunately, the deciding department felt
\nthat the SilverHairsClub members are not a disadvantaged group, and in Mar
\n2012, notified us that it could not support our project. Nevertheless, under the SilverHairs
\nEnterprise, we decided to proceed on. We pursue the eldersitter project because this project is our way of contributing to the elderly society. Fit and healthy seniors providing eldersitter services to the less fit elderlies.<\/p>\n
\nin part-time work, and all of them have experience looking after their elderly
\nparents and many have worked in eldercare organisations. Besides a part-time work income, we also want to interact with society. We are definitely wanted by society.<\/p>\n
\nan online service booking system where our clients can book for eldersitters on
\nthe internet. Besides recruiting eldersitters, we also took in two administrators working Mon to Wed and Thur to
\nSat to take calls, take online bookings, and pair clients with our eldersitters. While we do face snags here and there, I am happy with the progress.<\/p>\n
\nwhich days are worth our spending advertising money. We trial tested our procedures from system
\ntests, advertising, liaison between administrators and eldersitters, payment, live accounts, handling the clients and managing returning clients. We have
\nalmost completed the basic steps. Of course, more needs to be done.<\/p>\n
\nprovide, and our eldersitter services are mainly companionship-type services. We have no plans to go into nursing or
\nmedical support services. Following the good advices of supportive members, we are now venturing out to make links with
\norganisations whose patients require after care assistance.<\/p>\n
