Welcome back to all members after our term break, I do hope that you had the opportunity to catch up with family and friends, enjoy the footy finals, or better still get away from Melbourne for a short break.

On Wednesday 21 August, Studio 2 was filled with over 90 members and 15 guests for the 2023/2024 Annual General Meeting. The business of the day included reporting to members on the activities of the Committee of Management and electing a new Committee of Management for 2024/2025.
At this AGM, we farewelled three Committee members and welcomed three new members. The AGM is also an opportunity to recognise significant contributions to U3A Nunawading, by awarding Life Membership. The Photo Gallery from the AGM gives a taste of the day.
Welcome back to all members after our term break. I do hope that you had the opportunity to catch up with family and friends or better still get away from the Melbourne cold weather. I had a week’s break on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland where it proceeded to rain every day.
The City of Whitehorse, in partnership with Villa Maria Catholic Homes, are installing a Social Enterprise Café in the area nearest to the upstairs corridor, and on completion the Café will be serving coffee, snacks, and cake. Read on for more about what this means for you.
A highlight of the past month has been our celebration of Mary Nathan’s 100th birthday. Looking forward, we have Christmas in July coming up during our three-week term break and the Annual General Meeting in August, with planning already underway.
May has been a buzz of activity at the Hub with our members enjoying their classes and social activities. Tickets for our Christmas in July celebration are now available at Reception, details are available in this newsletter. Also in this edition are reports on the get-togethers we’ve had, plus reminders of our upcoming three-week term break and the AGM. Have you considered volunteering for the Committee of Management?
A very warm welcome to all members returning from the term and Easter break. For those who got away or were able to catch up with family and friends, I do hope that you had a most enjoyable time.
With Term 1 rapidly coming to an end I do hope that all members old and new are enjoying their classes in 2024. Read on for more interesting activities to come this term.
The first two weeks of classes have shown that members were keen to get back into the swing of things and once again enjoy their classes and the facilities of the Hub. With several new class leaders and many new members joining U3A Nunawading, it looks like we are in for a very successful 2024.
The Reception Desk Volunteers and Committee Duty members have been extremely busy so I ask all members to be patient and respect the fact that everyone you deal with is a volunteer.
Happy New Year to all members, welcome back to returning members, and a very warm welcome to all of our new members. I do hope that you had an enjoyable break and are ready and eager to commence classes for 2024 on Monday 5 February.
With the end of another very successful year fast approaching I would like to thank all leaders, volunteers and our Committee of Management for their exceptional dedication and hard work in making U3A Nunawading a great place to live, learn and enjoy.
