How did you get introduced to an SCA? 

SCAs or Senior Citizens Associations are also called Senior Citizens Clubs or Forums, society etc. A conglomeration of locally functioning associations is a federation while the same extended to a very large geographic area, say (southern) region or the country might be a confederation. I shall use SCA as an umbrella term to mean any such organisation meant for the welfare of the elderly, preferably educated, worked in private or govt and retired. More particularly I am talking of neighborhood groups.

Why does a senior citizen join an SCA? Rather how does he get introduced? We can think of a few reasons like:

· Some friend took you to an annual day of an SCA and you were tempted to join

· Some SCA invited you to give a talk to their members and you obliged becoming a member

· You took part in some picnic / travel / trip arranged by an SCA where you had a friend

· You visited the website of the SCA while surfing and got interested

· You wanted to start one SCA and wanted to learn how other SCAs function

· You came across a newsletter where the activities of the SCA were mentioned

· Some office bearer in the SCA approached you as a matter of his duty to enroll members

What was YOUR reason and how were you introduced by whom?

It will be interesting to learn and discuss that issue. Who will start the dialogue?
