Celebrating Geraldton Seniors - One Smile at a Time ⭐️
Snippets of My Life by John Gaze
In 1996 we left Coffs Harbour to come and live in Geraldton, we travelled with a “mobile phone” …it looked just like an ordinary house brick and turned out to be useless! It’s hard to comprehend that in just over 30 yrs computers, smartphones, tablets have taken over and revolutionised our daily life with the pressure to go online and do the most mundane of tasks.
In 1999 Midwest Seniors Online Inc was formed and we met at the Geraldton library, then moved to the QEII Centre and our current premises is “The Residency”.
The group has seen hundreds of seniors through their doors. I’ve volunteered for over 25 years and found it most rewarding.
I also volunteer with pickleball at the QEII Centre and helped get the program started. It’s now underway and lots of fun.
