Scoty – Senior Citizen of the Year 2016
Saturday 1 October is recognised as the International Day of the Elderly, and to mark this special occasion, the Arizona Assisted Living will play host to the Senior Citizen of the Year(SCOTY) Gala Luncheon!
The Golden Oldies fund raising Club has run SCOTY, since 2012, with Winners being announced in each of the three age Categories(70-79 years; 80-89 years; 90+ and special mentions in the 100+ age group), as well as an Overall Winner.
Why this initiative?
- To promote “active ageing”
- To bridge the gap between the youth and senior citizens, and inspire young people to draw from the experience and wisdom of their seniors, and to make provision for their retirement years, whilst being active
- To recognize and honour the contributions, in both time and effort, volunteered by the senior citizens in our communities-to make a difference!
The Key role-players, other than the Golden Oldies Club, are, of course, the Sponsors, namely:
- BLG Logistics
- Spec-Savers
- Sunridge Village Shopping Centre
With GFI Gallery and Summerstrand Hotel offering their venues, free of charge, for the various events
