New Seniors

We are the most fortunate individuals in American history. Because of the hard work and sacrifices of the Greatest Generation and those before them, we received much. For this we are grateful. The values, traditions and hopeful spirit of the builders and defenders of this country are a legacy which we now have the responsibility to pass on to generations following us.

The gifts we received are not ours to keep. These were to be used for positive purposes, kept intact and given to our families, friends and communities so they could enjoy the American dream as we have. Our days of work are over or coming to an end. This is not because we are no longer capable; it is simply that we have other contributions to make. And now is the time to devote our energies to making a difference.

New Seniors is not an organization in the classic sense. We do not come together based on race, religion, country of origin, occupation, political parties or any of the descriptions that tend to separate Americans from one another. While we support the betterment of all, our commonality is simple. We are 65+ and share a concern about the specific well-being of others in this age group, a group that is ignored all too often. And, we are willing to commitment our time and talents to advance this cause.

New Seniors represent a unique state-of-mind. We are an amalgamation of thoughts and beliefs about what is right and what needs to be done in order to make our collective lives better. Currently there are 30 million Pre-boomers, born between 1930 and 1945, all 65 or older.

Baby Boomers start turning 65 next year, at the rate of one every 10 seconds, with this intensity continuing through 2030. So, with our growing numbers, we have the power to make things happen so long as we have the conviction to stick with it – a trait we have been known for over the years.

Your goal may be to have a voice in health care reform for seniors, help others prepare for retirement, improve local schools or a variety of other worthwhile activities. Whatever it is, New Seniors have the combined knowledge, experience and ability to help. There are many things to be accomplished. All it takes is a desire to participate.
