| The Mauritian Golden Age Club was formed on April 23rd 1989. Every year, the Club celebrates its anniversary on the Saturday prior to Mothers' Day. The Club was founded because there was an urgent need to help the Elderlies of the Mauritian Community who were very isolated and were becoming housebound.
The Club started with ten friends who wanted to get together now and then and have a good time.
Fifteen years, we now have 450 members. We meet every Tuesday, from 10.00AM to 3.00PM
at Menzies Hall in Menzies Avenue, Dandenong North (Melway
Ref: 90 C1). The members play domino, lotto, cards and
exchange news etc. Educational talks from outside organisations such as the CFA, the Drug and Safety Committee, Chiropodists, Dentists, the Police Force, Chemists and many others
are also given to members.

The Club organises day excursions and week long tours around Victoria and other States. To raise funds, the Club has three fund raising activities during the year; a Mothers' Day dance at which lottery booklets are sold, a Fathers' Day dance and a Fair which is held around the middle of October.
The Annual General meeting of the Club is held once a year
after the financial year in June. The AGM is normally held in
August. Club activities include a Family and Xmas Day Dance.
In 1994, a survey among the members found out that some Elderly members of the Club were not too happy living with their growing up grand children and they wanted to live independently, but not by themselves in a flat or a unit. Paule Collard, President of the Club contacted the Abbeyfield Society of Victoria who was helping certain organisations with housing for the Elderlies.
