Last Friday I held my annual seniors forum at Halekulani Bowling Club. We had over 150 seniors present that day. As usual, it was a fantastic event. It is one of the forums or get-togethers where there is absolutely no politics. We had a wonderful array of speakers. I would like to put on record my thanks to those people who gave up their time to come along and speak and those people who gave up their time to have information tables at Halekulani Bowling club. I would like to thank Justin Dover from the Vietnam vets aged-care facility at Noraville and member of the not-for-profit aged-care sector. Centrelink gave their wonderful presentation as always and there were lots of questions. The NRMA came and talked about road safety for seniors, and once again there were lots of questions and lots of interaction between the people who were there. I thank solicitor Angie Anthony, who came along and presented to the forum. Also, the Stroke Foundation came to the forum and talked about health: factors that can make a person a lot healthier and factors that can reduce a person's susceptibility to stroke and cardiovascular disease.
