SCOTY 2017 – How to Enter

By

The knee-jerk, lazy reaction to an appeal to ask Senior Citizens to submit entries for the title of Senior Citizen of the Year would be to use a title like; “Get your Grandchildren to help you enter SCOTY 2017”.

But, my maternal unit is one of those and she has a firm grasp on technology, using WhatsApp, Facebook and allowing me to claim her as the only reader on MyPE – yes that is YOU Mom! And did I mention that she uses a Raspberry Pi to watch Ted videos on?

Having attended one or two SCOTY award events I can tell you that the nominees are a top notch bunch of citizens who contain a zest for life and new adventures that put me to shame.

So, forget the grandchildren and enter the SCOTY yourselves by emailing your entry to scotygoldenoldies@gmail.com before Wednesday 30 August 2017 with reasons why you should be nominated in any of the following age categories: 70 – 79 years/ 80-89 years/ 90+.

After all if you are reading MyPE (MOM) then you are already tech savvy!
