We have not left any stone unturned to enroll members to the Group. We have e-mailing list of over 1500 addresses of which more than 200 members have signed up for annual membership.
The Planning Group comprises of 14 persons of which four couples are most regular. Recently we recruited fresh members to Planning Group in lieu of the non-regular ones– we believe the new members would take more active part on a regular basis. Generally, the group meets once a month to plan for the monthly events. .Several Seminars on various health topics; yoga; wealth management; Tax laws, Social security; Wills; Trusts; Probate; Elders safety etc., have been conducted. Picnics, Cruises were also arranged.

B. LONG TERM GOAL: b.1: Well beginnings of all BIG things are small!!! Our aspiration is to become a HUB for the baby-boomers of Indian Origin and HSCF to become at par with centers for Indians established at Canada, England, Los Angeles, and Chicago. As more and more retirees from North continue to move to this wonderful WARM land, we would like to be geared to WELCOME and provide them with a common meeting place. If we continue to receive the usual support from all of you, HSCF management as well as honored contributors, our dreams would soon be fulfilled.
b.2 : To have an independent Activity Room where the Seniors could have games like table tennis, carom, chess, playing cards, newspapers, etc. etc. on a regular basis – this should be a hub of activities like any senior centers run by the State in various localities. This would benefit not only the seniors but also the juniors who could mingle with the seniors and learn from their experiences.
b.3: To have our own self-contained Living Quarters Complex.
