Golden Age Club allows CMAA the opportunity to promote the well-being of Lao and other Asian seniors living in Elgin. Recognizing that a strong indicator of longevity for the elderly is social connectedness, the Golden Age Club promotes senior citizens’ well-being by offering opportunities for seniors to interact with one another on a regular basis. Continued funding from the Grand Victoria Foundation would allow CMAA to continue to offer educational and recreational workshops and events to members free of charge. Seniors engage in a variety of activities including field trips, lunch and learns, arts and crafts, dancing, sewing/ knitting, and civic engagement. Field trips include annual the Senior Holiday Celebration, Summer Outing/Picnic, and Cultural New Year Celebration.
