Dear fellow SilverHairsClub members,<\/p>\n
I like to share a thought with you at this time of the year. It’s the usual
\ntime of the year, when we have the feeling that the year is short, and that we
\nmay not have done some meaningful for ourselves. Before we realise it,
\n2013 is here.<\/p>\n
Many of us are busy, even though we are over 45. Some of us are working to make a
\nliving. This includes me. Or we may be busy catching up with
\nfriends for coffee or mahjong. Still, among us, many are busy nannying
\nour grandchildren. While others are karaoke’ing the afternoon out or
\ndancing the nights away. For some, it’s charity and social work or
\ntrading online. I wonder how many among us are active with other
\nactivities eg watching Korean or Taiwanese movies every day.<\/p>\n
We have friends, and some of us do not need to think of making more friends.
\nObviously, we don’t want to make friends whom we will regret meeting.
\nIt’s always nice to have some close friends, whom we can share our interests
\nand ideas. Friends whom we can chat during lonely moments; maybe not now
\nbut in later years.<\/p>\n
For the last 7 years, SHC activities have been centred around "providing a
\nplatform for Silver Hairs to make new and more friends". This has
\nworked well for some members, and we would continue to focus on this objective.<\/p>\n
It’s also time to revisit our efforts. It’s time for non-active members to contribute
\nactively to the Club. Have you shared your interests and activities with
\nClub members? Have you organised any card games, handicrafts, going
\ndowntown or travel and shopping trips to Johor Bauru with fellow member?
\n What about mah-jong sessions? Computer knowledge sharing, cooking
\nsessions, going classes together and visit exhibitions. Ever organised a
\nmini-potluck?<\/p>\n
Have you ever offered a hand with Club administration and committee work? We
\nhave always been looking for volunteers, have you raised your hands? Many
\nmembers have organised at least one activity for SHC, but unfortunately many
\nhave not. <\/p>\n
Perhaps, this is the time of the year, for you to think of making a contribution to
\nSilverHairsClub. Introduce yourself to the Club, and you will be
\nsurprised what it means to be an active member of SilverHairsClub.<\/p>\n
I look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n
