group of 200 "retired but not tired" experts in various fields

Commerce, Industry and Agriculture. The forum promises to organise
lectures, spend quality time with their "client" firms, and even
use their contacts to help. It's a consultancy for youngsters at nominal
charges, and a good way to keep qualified senior citizens occupied. For
