AIL of New Zealand – serving <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong><br />
members since 2009<br />
American Income Life Insurance<br />
Company (AIL) has a long history<br />
of working with community and<br />
industry associations in New Zealand.<br />
As well as No Cost<br />
Accident Coverage<br />
for all our members,<br />
AIL also offers affordable<br />
and comprehensive<br />
Life Insurance plans,<br />
specially tailored to fit the<br />
needs of association families.<br />
Why AIL? AIL is different<br />
from most insurance<br />
providers as it offers<br />
Permanent Life cover.<br />
Life coverage is guaranteed<br />
through to age<br />
120, which means coverage<br />
won’t run out just<br />
before your family really<br />
needs it.<br />
Plus, premiums do<br />
not rise as you get older<br />
– your annual premiums<br />
stay the same for the life<br />
of the policy.<br />
AIL also offers Living<br />
Benefits as part of its Life<br />
Insurance plans.<br />
Accident injury coverage<br />
can be included,<br />
which pays in addition<br />
to ACC and other private<br />
health insurance<br />
schemes.<br />
AIL’s popular Cancer<br />
Protection policy pays a<br />
lump sum immediately<br />
upon diagnosis, plus an<br />
additional payment every<br />
time a member goes into<br />
hospital for treatment<br />
(for up to 500 days.)<br />
This provides a supplemental<br />
income to<br />
make sure the bills are<br />

to back to good health.<br />
Best of all, AIL can<br />
take new enrolments under<br />
the Permanent Life<br />
cover up to 80 years old.<br />
Other Living Benefits<br />
have no age limit for application.<br />
A representative will<br />
call to deliver your personal<br />
Certificate for the<br />
$2000 Accident policy<br />
and let you know AIL can<br />
further assist your family.<br />
A.M. Best, one of the<br />
oldest and most respected<br />
insurance ratings companies,<br />
has rated American<br />
Income Life as A+ (Superior)<br />
for overall Financial<br />
Strength (as of 6/16).<br />
All AIL representatives<br />
are Registered Financial<br />
Advisors and disclosure<br />
forms are available on request.<br />
AIL is currently looking<br />
for new representatives<br />

Adult education groups exercising our brains keeping us mentally agile<br />
FROM PAUL LUNBERG<br />
Our <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> magazine is certainly<br />
full of products claiming to keep us<br />
healthy to a ripe old age. Then there<br />
are articles of fascinating places to<br />
visit and things to see.<br />
But many of us need<br />
to exercise our<br />
brains more to keep<br />
us alert and mentally agile.<br />
This article is really<br />
about the situation in<br />
Nelson but I am certain<br />
that there are similar<br />
groups where you live.<br />
You can find the specific<br />
ones in your area either<br />
by going to the FOUND<br />
website which lists community<br />
groups and or-<br />
ganisations across the top<br />
of the South http://www.<br />
found.org.nz/ or contacting<br />
your local Citizens Advice<br />
Bureau.<br />
Your local council may<br />
also have information of<br />
groups like those I will<br />
mention.<br />
Retired folk in Nelson<br />
have a plethora of clubs<br />
and groups offering learning<br />
activities.<br />
There have always<br />
been painting, woodworking,<br />
music, pottery and<br />
similar groups and a lot of<br />
learning takes place within<br />
these.<br />
However, these are<br />
largely hands-on activities<br />
where people learn a specific<br />
manual skill together.<br />
This article concentrates<br />
on those groups who offer<br />
brain food.<br />
These groups are for<br />
those wishing to increase<br />
their knowledge of the<br />
world around us.<br />
They are in no particular<br />
order.<br />
Much of this has been<br />
directly lifted from the<br />
FOUND website.<br />
Following is a list of<br />
the more well-known<br />
groups which does not include<br />
Probus and the service<br />
clubs - although they<br />
