The number of older Americans is rapidly increasing. Many companies have forced retirement, leaving people without a sufficient source of income. Many older people are at their peak when they are turned out to pasture by company rules. Age discrimination in the hiring process makes rehiring difficult.

How can we use the talents and abilities of older citizens and give them opportunities to be productive members of the workforce? How can they continue to be proud and productive taxpayers instead of a drain on America's economy? Age and Experience is a way to help put them back to work.

In our company, people in their 60's and 70's have become excellent employees, with great experience and stability. For more than 20 years, they have worked out so well that we want to share our success with small business everywhere.

So we created this no-charge hiring website as a permanently-supported gift to America. It is our hope that businesses nationwide will find the same benefits we have found by hiring deserving people who are ready to work.

Yes, we said no charge! That's right, free to all concerned. There will never be any charge to job seekers or employers!

To develop and permanently support these resources required some creative ideas to avoid a costly staff and ongoing fund-raising efforts. First, we have no employees. Next, we use the existing offices and equipment of our manufacturing company. Further, although these websites were quite expensive to develop, we have designed them to require minimal maintenance and no interaction from a staff. Finally, we have no phone, fax, or email, because job seekers and employers interact directly with each other without our management. As a result, we are proud to say that this organization has almost no overhead.

So we have no plans for fund raising, even though we will accept tax free donations as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. Money received from small business or private donors will be used for publicity - important for the first few years. But no government money will be accepted, nor will money be accepted from any organization that receives government money. Indeed, we are out to show that small business can do good work for our country without government support.

America's presidents have always asked us citizens to find ways help our people and our country - this is such a way. This is creative entrepreneurship, volunteerism seeking to serve, and small business in action. You are witnessing the grassroots beginning of a truly new concept - one that will help American people, American small business, and American taxpayers.

Age and Experience was launched in May 2005, and we hope thousands of people will be using this resource daily within the next few years.

By using Age and Experience, you will be:

	Helping American people by providing a way to find employment at any age,
	Helping American small business increase profits through improving productivity, cutting costs, and reducing turnover,
	Helping America by putting experienced people back to work, and adding taxpayers to the system instead of spending taxpayers' money on people who can't work.

Please pray for the success of this concept for our people and our country.
