NOW IS THE TIME TO STEP FORWARD!

The York Older People's Assembly needs your experience, skills, networking and vision for the future. A new committee will be elected at the AGM on Monday 17 October at 2 pm at the Friends Meeting House in Friargate and the door is open to anyone who is interested in the issues of older people in this city.

How can you get involved and make a difference? Are you able and willing to represent older people at policy-making board and committee meetings around the city, from council, hospital and police committees, to CVS, LINk and regional policy meetings? Can you contribute to the quarterly newsletters, the York 50+ Festival or ward 50+ Information Fairs? If the answer is "Yes!" then consider joining the Executive Committee where your skills will be highly valued and put to good use.

If you are over 50 and concerned about the growing number of older people in York and throughout the country which is going to affect all our lives as the money dwindles and needs increase, then now is the time to step forward and get a grip on what is happening. Women and individuals from diverse communities particularly welcome.

"50+ Action" is what it says on our logo, and 50+ action is what we do. We are looking for a Chair with the vision to take us forward. Someone involved with 50+ issues who has the time to commit to our work. If this person could be you, then come to the AGM and talk to us, or get in touch with the Vice Chair, Bob Towner, on 01904 791551 and discuss the possibilities. The door is open.

For more information contact the Vice Chair for an informal chat on York 791551.

Fundraising expertise and a Treasurer also welcome!
