An Older People's Association is a group of older people working to help the members of the group, organise social activities, provide microfinance or conduct other charitable work. These kind of organisations also enable information sharing and peer support.
Famous quotes containing the words older, people and/or associations:
“As I get older I seem to believe less and less and yet to believe what I do believe more and more.”
—David Jenkins (b. 1925)
“So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self- Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
