For five years in our city a public organization of veterans (pensioners) of Kazan - Club "Kazan Tatars" is functioning. Earlier, before the official accession to the Council of Veterans, the club has existed under a different name, but since 2011 it has been renamed and became called “Kazan Tatars. The Club meetings are held at many cultural venues of the city - in theaters, house of cultures, museums (until recently the club held its event at the G. Tuakai museum G. Tukai, but due to its reconstruction temporarily lost this site).
What are such clubs for? Its aim for the elderly people could have been realized, and oriented in the modern world, for the society to understand and remember that age - a fact which a lot of us will have to face, and that all of us need support, care and attention, creative fulfillment.
