Midwest Seniors Directory 2024 - by Inner Wheel

GUEST SPEAKER:
Clare McElhinney introduced Yvonne Lovedee, the President Elect for Inner Wheel. Yvonne spoke to us about the upcoming new publication of the Geraldton Seniors Directory. 4000 copies are being printed and distributed throughout the Midwest. By sponsoring the publication for $500 there are publicity and social media advantages.
 
 
Invitation to support the
Geraldton Seniors’ Directory 2024
 
The Geraldton Seniors’ Directory was first collated and printed in 2016 in response to Seniors indicating they could only receive discounts in Perth with their pension cards and not locally.  Geraldton businesses were willing to give discounts too.
 
The Geraldton Seniors’ Directory bridged this gap!
It is now a biennial directory of local businesses which support and provide discounts to Seniors with Age Pension cards (Centrelink) or WA Seniors cards or National Senior’s cards. Also included is information on community organisations to encourage social connections in the community, senior support services, links to Government concessions for pensioners and useful numbers.  Plans are underway for the 2024 Directory to be printed and launched as part of Seniors Week in November, 2023.
Inner Wheel is an international organisation established in the United Kingdom in 1924 by the wives of Rotarians.  With nearly 4,000 clubs in 100 countries with in excess of 100,000 members, it is one of the largest women’s organisations in the world and is recognised by the United Nations.
Inner Wheel Australia is made up of 14 Districts. Western Australia has 17 clubs which form District A40. The aims of the organisation are:
  1. To promote true friendship
  2. To encourage the ideals of personal service
  3. To foster international understanding
 
International Project: Members in WA select an overseas project to aid and support families.  In 2022/23 this project is Wheelchairs for Kids with a focus on giving mobility to vulnerable children which gives them a renewed sense of dignity, hope and independence.
 
National Project: Funds are raised for Cord Blood Research.  To date members in Australia have raised over $3.5 million, providing research grants to the medical field who seek to find cures for childhood cancers, leukaemia, prostate cancer, cerebral palsy, dementia and more.
Local Projects: Support in Geraldton has been provided to women in crises and the homeless.
Membership is open to all women over 18.
