There was a great buzz at the Hub last Wednesday when more than 150 of our Class Leaders and members of the Committee of Management celebrated another great year at U3A Nunawading. Seeing such a dedicated and committed group of volunteers, who contribute so much to the lives of our members, all together at the one time was inspiring.
Members of the Committee of Management were delighted to host our wonderful Reception Desk Volunteers for an end-of-year ‘Thank you’ morning tea in Studio 2 last week.
Our volunteers were seated at ‘team tables’ so they could socialise with the others on their roster, many of whom they never normally meet because they are on duty on different weeks of the month. See the

Last week was Scams Awareness Week and there was plenty to talk about! With the current data breaches and with scammers continually developing new ways to catch people out, we need to be more careful to check for those little clues that alert us to a scam. ACCAN (Australian Communications Consumer Action Network) has a quick video that summarises some key rules on how to avoid scams. The cold and wet weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the almost 90 members and guests who attended our inaugural Cup Eve event at the Hub.

Despite some muddy patches in Tunstall Park, the sun shone on a wonderful array of performances, activities, community stalls, roving entertainers, rides and food vendors, with the trapeze act set up on the lawns outside the Hub drawing gasps from the crowd with their high-flying performances throughout the day.Shopping online this Christmas
