I used to have a Mens Happy Hour where I served Odouls (non-alcoholic beer) and they all thought it was real beer and the best beer they have ever had! It got them talking about drinking beer 'back in the day'. I served bar nuts and made a happy hour/bar atmosphere.

I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
