Seniors Festival Grand Opening
On Sunday 6 October 2024 the Hub was a buzz of activity as many of our classes showcased their skills in the Whitehorse Positive Ageing Seniors Festival Grand Opening.
The excitement came not only from those who were showcasing but also from their families and friends who came to support them. There were lots of cheers and laughter, particularly in the performance areas with the audience enjoying themselves and clapping to the beat. See the photo gallery of the day here.

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month
October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, a time to review your cyber awareness and upgrade your protection. If you find it’s too hard, get help from your family, friends or U3A and take action to secure your devices and accounts from cyber threats. Just four simple steps can make a big difference.
Snippets
Our October Snippets covers a unique approach to learning Japanese; some free tapestry canvases on offer; plenty to enjoy at the Spring Festival; and an important warning for Thunderstorm asthma.
