A warm welcome to all members returning from the term break. I do hope that many of you were able to catch up with family and friends and enjoy your three-week break from U3A.
I am pleased to inform you that U3A Nunawading is again open to new members from the commencement of Term 3.
This update includes helpful tips on parking and driving at the Hub and reminders to wear your name badge and to provide an apology if you will be away to keep your class spot.
We’re all aware of scams, but still people get caught out – the money lost to scams by Australians in 2022 was over $3 billion!
We need to be on the lookout for scams, but there are some other basic security steps we should take as well. In the four-week Basic Online Safety course you will not only hear about how to take these basic steps, you’ll put them into practice.
If you are looking for a class to join in Term 3 at Nunawading U3A, there are places in my science class – Curious about Science of Air and Water.
In Terms 1 and 2, we concentrated on the molecules which make up the air we breathe every day, and we explored some of the surprising effects of air pressure.
Book today for the Strong People Stay Young Four-o’clock Forum this coming Wednesday (26 July) and secure your place for the Cybersecurity, Hacks and Scams forum on 30 August.
Lindsay Glen, Joanne Hart-Parker and our U3A itself were acknowledged at this year’s Deakin Community Awards ceremony at Yarra Valley Grammar in Ringwood in June.
In the middle of our three-week term break, our Christmas in July luncheon was held on Tuesday the 4th at the spacious Mulgrave Country Club. It was an afternoon filled with mirth, laughter, and festive cheer which warmed-up the wintery, drizzly day!
The Power of Africa Class decided to celebrate the music and rhythms of Africa in the last two weeks of term.
I arranged for two professional and highly regarded African instrumentalists from Super Mande Percussion to come to the Hub and deliver a workshop as well as give a performance of traditional music on the Djembe drum and Kora.
In July Snippets, catch-up on the latest news from the Table Tennis team; learn about Days for Girls; check out volunteering opportunities for MRI research, a new Repair Café and Eastern Health and there’s extra cash to earn as a Crossing Supervisor.
