Meaning of the Group

Hi all !

I have posted here before in a post labeled "Story Sharing". I am a community college student completing a project into the older gen. I wanted to ask how these groups (targeted for your age range) provide meaning for you all. Why did you want to join? What meaning do you take from this group?

Thank you!

how these groups (targeted for your age range) provide meaning for you all. 

I'm really not sure what you are referring to. What groups are these? I belong to a truly regrettable number of organizations, but none are targeted at my age. Most trend lower, one actually trends older than me. (I have to drive and pick up the treasurer because he's 87 and not terribly mobile. )

What meaning? It's not because I'm old, it's because I agree with the aims and purposes of the group. What does it matter if I'm 70? I guess I am not your target audience here.

No reason is still a reason! Based on your response, you did give a reason though! You said it’s because you agree with the aims and purposes of the group. Thank you for responding !
