Body Scan
The Body Scan sessions for 23 to 27 October booked out within a week – a very popular initiative for which we thank Aqualink. For those who missed out, there is a waiting list at the front desk in case a place becomes available, and we will also use this list to try to arrange additional sessions.

State Library of Victoria Referendum resources
The State Library of Victoria has just released online resources relating to the Referendum. As with U3A Nunawading, the State Library is apolitical and are not taking a stance on either case. Rather they are providing a wide range of information and links for each case, and about the mechanism and rules of a Referendum.
State Library Resources may be accessed via this link: https://guides.slv.vic.gov.au/voice/getstarted
