Dear Fellow Boomers,

The Dinokeng Scenarios has been launched across South Africa in the past two months. A group of leading South Africans has come up with three scenarios for our future leading up to 2020. Seeds of all three scenarios exist presently and it will take conversations, understanding and commitment to reach the scenario of WALK TOGETHER. Dinokeng is “a place of rivers”…. All our pasts have flowed together to meet at this place and time, and all our futures will flow from here. Go to www.dinokengscenarios.co.za for more details. I have trained as a facilitator as I feel Refirement Network can play a leading role in helping to bring people together. Please feel free to connect with me if you would like me to facilitate a talk for your organization or company.

I have two more work opportunities for interested, skilled Boomers. An NGO on the East Rand is looking for a call centre operator for cancer survivors. They are looking for someone who has survived cancer or involved with someone who has had cancer. The job can be shared by two different individuals who only want to work two and half days each a week. The person applying must be computer literate.

The second opportunity is for two occupational health nurses and one occupational health doctor for a mining group in the Northern Cape. These positions come with housing. If you want more information or want to send through your CV please send to Lynda@refirementnetwork.com

We will be holding a REFIREMENT CONFERENCE on the 3rd November. We have four outstanding speakers as well as a great breakfast. This event will be a sell out so please do not delay in booking for the event. See attached detail in this newsletter.

Phased Retirement is still very new. Are companies here prepared for this approach? Are you open to negotiate a different package for yourself? The article attached may help you to learn more about this process. We live in a world where you need to plan and manage your own destiny.

I am off to Thailand this week for the birth of my second grandchild. May you be blessed in all that you do and those that you impact?

Warm Regards
Lynda Smith

Phased in Retirement
Tools to help an organization or individual look at this scenario.

The July 3rd issue of The Economist sported an illuminating analysis of the impact of aging on the economies of the world. It's chock-full of recent stats on aging and offers a panoramic overview of the fact that the "graying of the world" will indeed change the world in ways far more dramatic than any other influence currently on the demographic "radar screen."
