Our October Meet and Mingle took place at the Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop Learning Centre - with presentations from Councillor Barbara Alexander on directions being taken by the council to ensure Benalla remains a vibrant town which is attractive to older people and from librarian Debbie on upcoming and regular programs in the Library.
Terry Case reported on recent developments, then congratulated the Investment 1 group, which has decided to finish up this year after running as a U3A group since 1996. Seven of the original members are still attending this group, which as 'Ben-ites' is a regular leader in the Age Share Race. Graham Mitchell engaged the audience in reminiscing about the group and received very warm applause in recognition of his contribution as convenor of this long running and most successful group.
Next year's new 'Play reading' and 'Collectors' Corner' groups were advertised by respective group leaders, Keith Rogers and Judy Borthwick.
Our last Meet and Mingle for the year will be held at The Hub, Cooinda on Wednesday 18th November. Please try to car pool, and give yourselves time to be at the venue for a 10 am start. Patchwork will be on display and the Singing for Fun group will entertain us.
