Haifa: Golden age
Every year, Haifa Municipality wants to show its warm relation to the Senior Citizens of the town and organizes
very diverse activities, adapted to all, that take place during the whole month of November and for some of them
beyond.
The lobby of retired people in Haifa
THE LOBBY OF RETIRED PEOPLE IN HAIFA

The lobby of retired people was created in Haifa in 2004.
It's aim is to be a voice for retired people, a weak part of the society,
who are hurt more and more by the economic and social decisions
taken by the governement and by the local authorities.
It is civil, independant and animated by volunteers .
1. to improve the status of golden age people living in Haifa.
2. to encourage retired people to be active : "retired people on behalf
of retired people"  in the field of social activities.
3. to collaborate with organizations that work for the amelioration of
the quality of life of older people.
4. to lobby effectively to influence official decisions concerning rights
and duties of retired people
5 to  make the voice of the ever growing population of elderly people
heard, a voice that has so often been ignored till now.

THE STRENGTH AND THE SUCCESS OF THE LOBBY OF
RETIRED PEOPLE IS A DIRECT FUNCTION OF THE NUMBER
OF THE PEOPLE WHO JOIN IT
today in June 2006, we have almost 3000 members
WITH YOU ....we will be even more!
