We are delighted that Janice Ellis (pictured) has volunteered to work on the website. Janice is currently learning to add newsletter reports to the website. Thank you, Janice!
I'd also like to thank Be Connected andTech Savvy Beginners - Apple convenor Jenny Sawyer and Tech Savvy Beginners - Android convenor Robyn Lukey for incorporating ‘learning to use U3A Benalla's website’ in their classes. Thank you, Jenny and Robyn.
Last but not least, thanks go to the convenors and ‘news correspondents’ whose newsletter reports and photographs are posted on the website each month. What a wonderful resource you provide.
The U3A Benalla and District page on Facebook has gradually grown to 200 followers. It’s a very gentle site, with a small audience and to date, no ‘trolls’. Roving photographers and Facebook contributors Bev Thornell and Andi Stevenson's regular posts are always engaging and also provide a wonderful resource for the website. Thank you, Bev and Andi.
On a final note, our ‘Facebook Post of the Year’, posted in August by Andi Stevenson, features Betty Milligan's poem, 'Here We Go Again'. It received 14 likes, 4 comments and 15 shares!
