Do you remember receiving your polio vaccine, tuberculosis injections, many decades ago? People I've been chatting to have been reminiscing about these events, adding 'that was serious, but it wasn't anything like this!'
To be on the safe side, and with regulations about social distancing being expanded out in terms of available room size just today, it seems best to cancel our U3A meeting room based sessions until further notice.
It would be wonderful, however, to keep writing. We could use the U3A website to share our stories. I would initially up a page with a password for group members to share and read stories on our monthly topics, perhaps making this available for other members to read when everyone feels comfortable about sharing their story more widely.
To make this work, all you need to do is to attach your story - for Monday's class 'Making Waves' - to an email and send it to bevlee47@gmail.com and I'll set up a page to include them. We could of course trial reading them into our phones and sending them as audio files.... but let's not get ahead of ourselves! (If you have difficulty attaching documents to emails, give me a call and we will sort out a way for me to access your story.)
How does this sound? Feedback welcome, otherwise I look forward to receiving an email from you with your story/stories attached each month.

PS - if you missed the first class, you can find out about the topics for the next three months, along with some back up topics, in the posts below this one.
