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:
“The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball—the further I am rolled the more I gain.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Don’t you realize that as long as you have to sit down to pee, you’ll never be a dominant force in the world? You’ll never be a convincing technocrat or middle manager. Because people will know. She’s in there sitting down.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Wild as it was, it was hard for me to get rid of the associations of the settlements. Any steady and monotonous sound, to which I did not distinctly attend, passed for a sound of human industry.... Our minds anywhere, when left to themselves, are always thus busily drawing conclusions from false premises.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
