Dear Queenie,
When I retired I moved to a new home in a place I have always loved but didn’t know anyone there. There aren’t many activities for us older folks and I haven’t met many people or made any new friends.
Queenie, I really don’t want to move back to where I used to live. What can you suggest?—Retired senior citizen
Dear Retiree,
Join a church of whatever faith you grew up in, or a social organisation that deals in things that interest you, or any volunteer group that can make good use of the skills you have developed.
These do not have to be only “senior” groups – people of all ages can become your friends and you may have a lot to offer to the younger ones.
