What OMNi Is and Isn’t
OMNi is …
- about older men meeting in the company of other older men
- about mateship, making friends and belonging
- about a place where men listen to other men sharing joys, sorrows, hopes and achievements
- a place where men share knowledge and experience on many subjects
- a place where men can rebuild their self-
esteem and are respected by their peers - about a group where it is safe to speak your mind in a non-
judgmental environment - a base from which men earn community respect as honoured elders
- about men’s health – physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, sexual, economic and environmental.
OMNi is not …
- party-
political, racist, sexist, ethnic- exclusive or denominational - another dinner club or service club
- an activity club – clubs for bushwalkers, stamp collectors, gardeners, wood turners, photographers, etc. already exist and can be attended in addition to OMNi
- a revenue-
raising organisation, but the Committee may seek sponsorship and funding for initiatives within the community - a men’s liberation movement
- anti-
women in any way.
OMNi goals are to …
- empower older men to take greater control of their lives
- improve the overall health of older men
- create deeper and more meaningful friendships
- draw on the experience, knowledge, and wisdom of older men
- promote policies, practices, and activities which enhance older men.
