Positive Ageing Lifestyle Program - Winter 2008

Older Persons Reference Group 'Newsletter'

June, July, August 2008

Welcome To the 2008 Older Persons Reference Group (OPRG) Newsletter.

With the exciting changes to the Positive Ageing Life Style Program, previously referred to as 'ROAR', it was identified as an opportunity to incorporate the Older Persons Reference Group Newsletter.
There are a number of reasons supporting this merger, including:
  • PALS. is a Positive Ageing information tool
  • PALS aims at promoting healthy; active ageing
  • Incorporating the information into the one newsletter minimises printing and postage costs as the newsletter has previously been sent to the same mailing database as the PALS Program.

The OPRG Newsletter has traditionally been a tool for passing on relevant and important information to the older members of our community. It looks at not only the issues relating to growing older, but also highlighting opportunities for personal grow th, recognition and involvement in existing community initiatives.

As part of the P.A.L.S. program the newsletter will continue to have a stronger focus on providing you with relevant information. Enabling you to stay in touch with positive ageing issues, what it means to you and what steps you can take to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle as you enter into your later years. It will also include the many wonderful activities and programs as traditionally offered in the ROAR program plus more!

For those of you who are new to the newsletter or are not aware of the Older Persons Reference Group (OPRG), it is a group of older adults who come together to advocate on behalf of other older persons living in the City of Monash and raise issues with Council that affect seniors living in our municipality.

Council encourages you to contact the OPRG, via the council contact and inform them of any issues or concerns you may have. Without your feedback OPRG is unable to advocate on your behalf.
