Fundraising is a good way to support lifestyle, look at your local council get a book from them which gives all organisations in that council and then write and ask for a donation for say a mothera day or fathers day raffles, easter or christmas raffle. Or hold a quiz night which is what I do inviting the community to attend, $10 a ticket it takes alot of organising but is very profitable
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!!!!!
