Please confirm details with event organisers. 2 Welcome to Seniors Festival 2016 Seniors Festival will be celebrated in Shellharbour City with another excellent program of activities and events. I encourage all senior residents to 'grow young' and be part of the experience of this special event and take advantage of what's on offer. No matter what your age, it's never too late to grow – to learn, to laugh and to be inspired. The events schedule is loaded with activities including tai chi demonstrations, computer courses, fashion parades, concerts as well as luncheons, morning teas and fellowship group meetings. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible during the coming months and wish you all the best. This is your time to shine!
