President's MessageWe have had a couple of successes in the last month. Firstly, at the Finance and Planning meeting of the Benalla Rural City Council on Wednesday 19th June the Councillors passed the Recommendation:
Our second success is that we have been re-registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC) as a charity. Obtaining charity status will mean that we will have Commonwealth charity tax concessions reinstated. We are waiting on this final piece of documentation to be forwarded by the ATO. Congratulations to Carmyl Winkler on being awarded an OAM in the recent King’s Birthday honours. Carmyl joined U3A three years ago when she came to Benalla, and is a valued member of the Singing groups and the Memoir Writing group. Carmyl’s award was for her contribution to both Benalla and Tallangatta communities, Carmyl having lived in Tallangatta for 45 years before coming to Benalla. The Committee would like to thank convenors Gwen Mildren and Val Whan plus several assistants who ran the Cooking Solo course in Semester 1 this year. It was the first time that U3A Benalla had embarked on such a practical course, and from comments of participants Cooking Solo seemed to fill a need in the Benalla community, as well as providing social interaction, enjoyment and a hearty meal each time for the 10 participants....
