I think you are doing a great job with it! I wouldn't alter your efforts. It is possible that people like a "refresh" or "reboot" after a few years but I am not bothered by that. Cheers, Mike Campbell mikecampbell62@outlook.com
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HONESTLY, WHAT OTHER PEOPLE OVER 50 WOULD LIKE TO See, hear about and do...am I the only one out here interested in people of all ages and what is new in their world? Where can a lonely good person find a partner? Are we really too old for LOVE, many of us hear jokes, and feel ugly..what can we do to help with that? I Love Elderberries, lets keep it going and get more and more exciting things to do.
Right now, it is an informative addition to us seniors-- don't overburden yourself with other's grandiose ideas that are covered elsewhere lest it become such an endeavor that it burns you out. If we're interested enough in intl news or Canadian lgbt news, we can get that elsewhere, etc.
I being new to the area would enjoy a friendly meeting place where one could make friendly(non sexual encounters). Contacts with people of similar i terests!
I appreciate the local news and events. I can get the international/national stories elsewhere.
thanks for your labour of love!
Would like to see/will try for more consistent publication dates, e.g. 1st of the month
I have never come to an event as I don't know anyone and its intimidating. If there is a way the newsletter could introduce members or let others know who some were it may help encourage folks to come to events
Personals, a "for sale" page, and more casual gatherings. Perhaps a movie night with a discussion of the movie or DVD.
some humour
Maybe member profiles, what's happening in the community etc etc (not Yul Brynner)
book review
aging issues
LGBT activities going on around the province
It's already good. It's quite Halifax centred, and understandably so. I'd like some news from persons in the boondocks..
If I see anything of interest, I will forward it to??? I will keep a beady eye on the English newspaper that I read about twice a week. Kath Cure.
