Seniors

 

 

OUR SENIORS – The backbone of our Association and one of the most vibrant group in WA, enjoy a variety of activities and outings throughout the year. Besides the various social events and services offered by the Government and other organizations, our seniors are very happy with all that we try to do. Stay On Your Feet is our motto and our “Junior Seniors” are always there with their care and attention to help us along. The espirit de corps that flourishes in all our events forges friendship and comradeship which is quite unique. It is family orientated and everyone is happy whenever we meet and get together for any occasion and all go home looking forward to the next time. Our main event of each month is our Morning Tea/Lunch held every first Saturday, when we get together from 10.00am to 2.00pm. We start off with coffee/tea, biscuits and any other tit bits brought along by some of our seniors, discuss our next activities, ect..  followed by Tai Chi, then a delicious lunch at a low cost of $6.00, followed by Bingo, Raffle and sometimes a sing-a-long. Tea/Coffee/cool drinks are on tap. All seniors are welcome, so do come along and have some fun. Our highlight of the year is a free lunch/social held at the same hall below, first Sunday of Seniors Week which is celebrated annually in WA during the last week in October, when old friends meet and new one made.  See below for details.
