Richmond - The Editor, Where is the respect? A group of seniors who have supported the Richmond Seniors Society for years is going to lose their bingo night over a $10 licence? Really? What an odd coincidence that just as the seniors decide to protest against the closure of their bingo, someone anonymously complains about them not having a licence. Very odd indeed.Perhaps if we can find ways to keep those pesky seniors away, there will be no need for a seniors centre at all.Maybe it is time to rethink rebuilding the centre. After all, if the seniors can't have the nominal costs of their bingo subsidized, why should an entire new building be subsidized?It's all about respect. Let's show some. What is the point of a senior's centre? Do our seniors have any say in what their centre is for? As I rapidly approach my senior years, it is unsettling to think that I shall soon have to count on myopic pennypinching administrators making decisions that are not in the best interest of seniors.L.
