I hope you are all safe and well, and not feeling too down by the quarantine. At least now we can visit family and friends. We still must practice social distancing.
I know a lot of you are missing the company of your U3A friends and are longing to be back together.
This newsletter contains news that some of the external groups are starting up, while some groups are using Zoom. The Zoom groups are working well, and we may have more on the way. Other contact with members is also happening, with some Convenors ringing and emailing their groups.
The Committee held its first Zoom Meeting recently. It was great to see everyone together, to catch up with Network and other news.
We have received a Community Grant from the Benalla Rural City to replace our old heavy Whiteboard with a light-weight magnetic whiteboard.
As I write, there is no news as to when the Council are going to reopen the building. As you will understand, we cannot plan for restarting at this time because we don’t know what the rules will be in the future.
Dorothy Webber,
President
