From the Course Admin team
We are fast approaching the end of Term 1, which has been a busy time for our terrific leaders with all the new and returning courses, and for all our members. Judging by the buzz at the Hub, I think everyone is enjoying their classes and the opportunity to socialise. Term 2 is not far away now, and brings with it quite a few new courses – see below for more details.
A reminder that Term 1 finishes on Thursday 28 March (not Friday), and Term 2 begins on Monday 15 April after a two-week break.
Celebrating diversity
Join in the Harmony Day fun and festivities on Thursday 21 March at the Hub. Wear your national costume, or a splash of orange. Bring a dish that represents your culture to share on the tasting table. Then continue the celebrations at the Culture Fest on Sunday 24 March.
New member welcome events
A warm welcome was extended to our newest members at morning teas on 26 and 29 February. At each event, our President, Gary Walker, gave a heartfelt welcome speech and spoke briefly about U3A and how it is run by volunteers. He emphasised the importance of community in enhancing the experience for everyone, and that members’ input was invaluable in the operations of U3A Nunawading.
