TypeAgencyDate Range1970-2011DescriptionThe Tawa Senior Citizens Club was formed mainly after more elderly were moving to the suburbs of Tawa to be closer to their families. There was generally no entertainment for those in their senior years and a club for such reasons was envisioned.
The community was behind the formation of the club and various groups and individuals were generous in providing entertainment and speakers. Club members themselves also provided entertainment at several meetings; plays, with various musical and choral performances.
The Club was operational Circa 1970 - Circa 2010, with the final committee meeting being held on the 5 February 2011.
The aims and objectives of the club being:
- To arrange meetings and provide fellowship and entertainment for senior citizens in the Tawa District.
- To engage in or provide any activities for the benefit of the Club or its members.
- To liaise with similar Clubs.
- To liaise with local church groups, the local District Council, local business people and any other local organisations or groups which may be able to assist or promote the interests of the Club and its members.
