Are you scam savvy?
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.
Cup Eve Afternoon Tea a treat for all
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.
Organised by our busy Social Committee, this was their last event of the year and they spared no effort in ensuring all who attended had a great time as our photos clearly show.
Sun shines on Spring Festival
Only two weeks after the launch of the Whitehorse Seniors Festival, the Nunawading Community Hub again played host to a community event with more than twenty thousand visitors to the 2022 Whitehorse Spring Festival.
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.

Welcome to November Snippets. This month you are invited to a concert and to play tennis; we see a class managing the wet and visit another in the evening, get a taste for a unique Summer School class, learn about Swedish gnomes and congratulate a member on her special award.
October is a busy month at the Hub
There’s lots happening at the Nunawading Community Hub this month with the launch of the Whitehorse Seniors Festival, which was hosted by U3A Nunawading on the first Sunday of the month and Council’s annual Spring Festival to be held on Sunday 23 October.
