In October we are looking forward to celebrating Get Online Week with a free lunch for U3A members and also for members of the older Benalla community on Wednesday 19 October at 11.45am. This lunch is being provided by a Grant from the Good Things Foundation who run the Be Connected program. The theme of the lunch is “Try One Thing” and we have invited Jenny Sawyer to explain about Buying Books Online after the lunch. Last year we had the lunch on tables outside the Benalla Senior’s Centre under the veranda, and it was a great setting. To assist with catering, could you please contact Geraldine McCorkell on 0408 522 662 if you would like to attend.
The October Meet and Mingle on Wednesday 19 October at 10am is going to feature Eric Nash, Director of the Benalla Art Gallery who will speak on forthcoming events at the Benalla Gallery over the summer period and into 2023. This is directly before the Get Online Week lunch.
On Wednesday 16th November Meet and Mingle will include a concert with both the Singing for Fun Group and also the Recorder Group showing their talents. The Patchwork Group are going to bring along some of their wonderful quilts and other items for display as well. Members are welcome to bring along family and friends as we would like them to enjoy the morning too.
In this month's Newsletter there is also information concerning the U3A Benalla Christmas Party. This year it will be held at the King River Café on Wednesday 23rd November at 12 noon. There will be a bus leaving from Benalla Bus lines. Cost of the Lunch is $35, or $45 if going by bus. Forms and money can be left in an envelope at the Redb4 bookshop in Bridge Street Benalla.
We are happy to report that we have had several enquiries about U3A Benalla following the publication of the Benalla Rural City Community Directory 2022/23. We are at the Come and Try period of the year, and have encouraged the people who have contacted us to try at least one course between now and the end of 2022.
Information about new courses starting in 2023 will be included in next month’s Newsletter.
