Aim of
the Association
ARPA's aim is to provide
support and
opportunities to its members so that they are able to pursue an
active and fulfilling life style through participation in physical,
social, educational and service activities.
The
Association's
Profile
The Australian Retired Persons
Association
(SA) Inc, known as ARPA, was established in 1981 and now has over 2800
members. ARPA provides members with a range of activities,
opportunities for friendship and, above all, a feeling of worth as
members of the association. Everyone aged 50 and over who is retired
or considering retirement is welcome as members.
A state council is
responsible for management of the ARPA association. The central office
is located at
23 Leigh Street, Adelaide and is
staffed by ARPA members on a voluntary roster basis with one salaried
officer to assist with the day to day operation.
There are a number of social
groups called
regional groups that are open to all ARPA members throughout the
state of South Australia from Gawler in the north to Mount Gambier in
the south. Each group is operated by its own committee to organise
various activities according to the interests of its members.
There are also a number of
activity based
groups that cater to a broad range of interests. Activities range
from less strenuous pursuits such as Art Appreciation through to more
physically demanding activities such as
Bushwalking and Tennis.
ARPA also provides a wide range
of benefits
and services, many of which are free of charge to members.
