Tell me, which of the carried out activities over the years especially remembered?
We had a two-day trip, during which the three hours we were sailing on catamarans on the river Obol, and in fact we were among people 75-79 years. We went outside Belarus. We were in Daugavpils, Vilnius, Stockholm, in which we sailed on the sea on an eleven ferry. Impressions weight: and there was a pool, and a sauna, and a show ... just not listed. During such travel is necessary to go necessarily.
I'm not talking about travel across Belarus. We visited Minsk, Harodnia, Homiel. So, we have something to be proud of. We also have people who write poems. Now we are going to publish a book by Tatiana Provincial and two other authors.
And as such a busy life schedule are your relatives?
Children call me and ask: "Mom, do you when you're at home?". That's when we meet. And so we have no time. We are always something to do. We are in the theater, and at the Philharmonic - we are everywhere.
And finally: What are some of the names of the most active members of your association.
Vladimir Ivanov meets with us for tourism and regional studies, is very active in our Shahnovsky Olga responsible for kultmassovuyu work. Susalka Antonin G. predominates in our financial matters, but Voevodskii Tatiana Borisovna awarded at the national level as the chief volunteer of the republic.
On the purposes of the public association, and plans for the future, I asked him to tell the current leader, Mikhail Luzgin.
The purpose of the club's "golden age" in the first place can be described as entertaining and developing. And it is right. Becoming a public association, we are somewhat coordinated their tasks. Now our main concept - is to facilitate that the natural process of human aging not turned into a miserable Living out. We need to break the stereotype: the elderly - so old, weak, poor, requiring extra care. After all, it is not so: the man lived, gaining wisdom and knowledge, because you need to make it as long as possible remained in demand. At least, we have set ourselves precisely this task. But the main thing in this concept - is the preservation and promotion of health.
We conducted a survey and found the presence of three problems: health problems, loneliness and age discrimination. Moreover, the concept of health, we want to understand not only the absence of disease, but as a spiritual, physical and social well-being. Essentially, all that we were engaged in the course of its activities aimed at the preservation of health. Paying due attention to the physical development of the members of our association, we never forget about the spiritual and creative development.
We are closely monitoring the proposed grants in our field and we are going to participate in these projects in order to be better able to implement their plans. We have a lot of people willing to do good for others.
