Here is some information for the members who could not attend today’s Morning tea. Again we had to rely on the vocals of Glen due to having no microphone and Natalie stepped in to help. ‘ Always expect the unexpected’. Firstly Natalie thanked everyone in supporting her last performance.

Natalie, reminded everyone of the upcoming Mid-Year event, which has been highlighted below. “AUSSIE BUSH COUNTRY DANCE”. She then congratulated Brian McNally from the writers’ group on the acknowledgement of his book from the Latvian government. Glen then informed us that we have secured the tenure of the Peter Lalor Campus to provide an administration area, additional classrooms and capacity to develop new programs for members by agreeing to partner with the Positive Ageing Unit of the City of Whittlesea and to take a lead role in the COW Senior Inclusion project. He acknowledged the work of Michael Murray, Peter Cleary and Joe Felice for their support and work in enabling Whittlesea U3A deliver in this commitment. Glen also thanked the 80 volunteers who work tirelessly and without payment, who make it possible for Whittlesea U3A to deliver classes and operate for the benefit of the organisation. 

A new Art class is being offered on Friday mornings from 10.00 am to 12.00 at Peter Lalor Campus. The facilitators will be Elaine Hamlet and Kosar Majani. This brings in an opportunity to expand our multiculturalism, experiencing in the arts. If you are interested either to learn a new craft or continue with you own type of artwork contact Elaine.  Whittlesea U3A bus trips are now being organised and they will occur 4 times a year.

Drop In Room

The “Drop in Room” (Room number 108) has been set up. Members can call in, have a chat to others, read a book, share interests when they have nothing to do at home and looking for company. It can be used as a venue for casual sharing of interests. The room is furnished with comfortable chairs, tables and book shelves for a book, jig saw and puzzle exchange program and is available for use Monday to Friday 9:30 am Monday to Friday. A jigsaw has already been started and members can come and have their input into the puzzle. This will only be available from Monday to Friday as young children enjoy this venue at the weekends and cannot guarantee that the jigsaw will be kept in place. Feel free to add in your contribution.
