It might be cold now, but spring is just around the corner and July Snippets is coming into bud with spring activities. Keep your diary free for our Spring Celebration, enjoy our garden’s blooms and get ideas for your garden at a camelia show. In line with the season of growth, our “Appy” Hour team is growing so watch out for changed times.
It may be chilly outside, but June Snippets is bursting with things to do to keep you warm! You can enjoy a pizza lunch at U3A; be inspired at a local art show; attend a free movie; learn about support for carers at a workshop; connect with the Whitehorse Positive Ageing Connect and Support team for help; and for the little people in your life, you can choose something fun from the Whitehorse School Holiday program. Plus, we highlight our very own Calligraphy and Marvellous Melbourne 3 classes.
In this edition of Snippets, the Biscuit Tin project was in the news, our newsletter team has new members, and we bring you news of three community initiatives to tantalise various interests: low impact basketball, a new community shed, and sustainable workshops that can save you money.
We hop into our April edition of Snippets with a report from our Art Appreciation class and a lunch at Parliament House; plus, we feature some interesting initiatives in the Whitehorse Positive Ageing newsletter; a chance to enrol in Appy Hour; a volunteering opportunity; a link to ANZAC Day services; and a helpful reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries. Happy Easter!
As autumn arrives, there’s an invitation to an end-of-term sausage sizzle, a revisit of the Biscuit Tin project for International Women’s Day, a warning about a nasty scam in Box Hill, two opportunities to join interesting research projects and a reminder to book in quickly for autumn school holiday activities.
As another exciting year begins at U3A, interesting topics in Snippets’ February edition include great savings for Aqualink membership and car hire; a callout for volunteers for medical research; and an offer to attend an informative dementia session.
In our final Snippets for 2024, member news includes a gold medal success story; the Christmas workshops’ review; end-of-year celebrations; an enticing hire car discount; details about the new café on level two; and a reminder about the Whitehorse Christmas Carols. Merry Christmas everyone!
