Who are the PrimeTimers? The name PRIMETIMERS reflects the idea that adults who are 55 and over have both self worth and significance in God's eyes and are known as 'Builders and Boomers' in our culture. PrimeTimers view the present as a time of reflection, learning, service and renewal. PrimeTimers promote these goals: Live Well Laugh Often Love Much Learn MOre Lean Hard During this time of life they have an opportunity to use their gifts and contribute through experience, skills, knowledge, and other resources they have developed over the years. Growing old is mandatory Growing up is optional
