Senior Options - Metro Senior Federation Convention For the past fifteen years, the Metro Senior Federation has been holding a convention that makes it possible for all senior club members to acquaint themselves with their parent organization and to have a voice in the_,►-r trigs of the Federation's intent, The 1957 convention held at the Mpls . Auditorium on. Oct, 19 featured some well-known Congressmen and a T,V, and screen star , Following the welcoming words by Pres. Carl Carlson, thepreliminary order of business held the attention of the delegates . Shortly after, Federation officers gave their report , Archie Wilcox, Mn. Senior Federation President, gave a five minute talk on what the Federation is doing to help seniors throughout the state. Election of new officers and incumbents was a very short item as all candidates were unopposed. The officers were later sworn into office by Hubert Humphrey III, current State Attorney General , As Carl Carlson was re-elected as president, he gave a short but stirring message concerning the importance of seniors building together to secure a better way of life for not only themselves but for America in general , To top the morning off, a panel of U , S. Congressmen (Sen, Durenberger, Rep. Penny, Rep, Sabo, and Rep. Vento) informed their listeners what to expect in future medicare actions , The main topic of the discussions concerned catastrophic insurance which the panel of congressmen assured teh seniors would be uppermost in congressional consideration. The convention adJourned at Noon nod the delegates and other guests numbering more than 1000 sat down to a chicken dinner, Eddie Albert, a Minnesota native, was the keynotespeaker during the lunch hour . Albert recounted some interesting times in his days in his hometown and also revealed his thoughts about mandatory retirement. Albert believes that our country needs teh experience that seniors have accumulated in their long lives; it is a shame tout this useful resource to rest when our country needs, more now than ever, the advantage of trained minds . Eddie Albert is 79 years old and has no intention of retiring his talents and encourages all seniors to make their i retiring years a useful and satisfying time of life, After lunch, the hundreds of delegates had an opportunity to view more tha 300 booths where senior related products and services were displayed , Just about everything imaginable was open for senior inspection; health products, health services, recreational, personal, travel, household, entertainment, educational, and financial assistance. Many booths had articles to give away, many had drawings, and some gave demonstrations . The time there went by fast and soon it was time to load up and head on out - back to Fridley. There was so much information given out for the day that a complete report in our newsletter would be difficult tocover, Rest assured that the Pietro Senior Federation performs as an extremely important function in obtaining influential recourse for the elderly segment of our nation, Being a member of the Pietro Senior Federation has many advantages and it is inexpensive, costing a mere $11 per year for couples and $9 for single. Not only are members recipients of manyworthwhile services but members become an important pa t in the continuing efforts to improve the standard of living for all people who are adyanolsIn their span oic ; 'fe �O G' d �. 9J, G C Cp 9(P VOA City of Fridley BULK RATE _ Recreation Department U.
