"Ray Dartly lauches positive age week"
Popular radio Dj Ray Dartly launched positive age week with a tea party in the Merrion hotel yesterday(18/11/08). Among the guests who attended were pensioners Maeve Reilly,John Murphy and Mary O' Keefe.

The main aim of this week is to dispel the many negative perceptions that surround ageing and to transform attitudes. It is also an oppurtunity for much needed funds for the charity. It will run from the 8th to the 15th of December,and will encourage people to organise parties to celebrate the elderly. A nominated fundraiser at each party will accept donations from those attending.

Lorraine Dorgan(deputy chief executive of A.A.I) said "We need to celebrate the fact that we are living longer;that ageing is not a burden but an opportunity. I would like to encourage as many people as possible around the country to take part in Positive Age Week."

To register as a fundraiser or for more details about the charity please contact Lorraine Dorgan on- 01 234567
