PAKENHAM’S senior citizens are out in force this week taking part in a variety of free and discounted events around the shire.
Classes at Pakenham’s U3A, concerts at Kooweerup and Pakenham Senior Citizens’ Clubs and carpet bowls at Emerald Evergreen Senior Citizens Club are a few of the fun events on offer during Seniors Week.
Cardinia Shire mayor Bill Pearson said every activity aimed to encourage people who are more than 50 years old to join in community life and meet old friends and new in fun settings.
“As a senior citizen myself, I cannot speak too highly of the benefits of taking part in community activities,” he said.
The full 2009 Victorian Seniors Festival program guide is available at Coles and Bi-Lo stores, council or by phoning Information Victorian on 1800 136 762 or logging on to the www.seniors.vic.gov.au website.
A copy of Cardinia Shire’s local event guide is available from Cardinia Shire on 1300 787 624 and libraries, Senior Citizens Centres and Neighbourhood Houses.
