UNIVERSITY of the Third Age, U3A, Wallan celebrated its 10th anniversary with a luncheon for more than 60 people on Friday, where the group showed its appreciation for its members.
The event was an opportunity for current members to connect with others involved with the group including past members, committee members and past presidents, with representatives from Mitchell Shire Council also in attendance.
U3A Wallan secretary Brenda Nicholas said the group had grown in her time on the committee and hoped more people would continue join in the future.
“We just hope everyone has enjoyed their time today, which I’m sure they have. There’s been a lot of work put into it,” she said.
“Looking forward we’re hoping to just grow a little bit more, with the town growing, we can hopefully get more people who will come around and join in. The community centre would also love more people to come in and use the facilities.”
U3A Wallan has about 70 members and operates out of Wallan Neighbourhood House, hosting a wide range of activities including pilates, crafts, dancing, and Tai chi among others.
New members to both the group and the committee are always welcome. For more information, people can contact Ms Nicholas at secretary@u3awallan.org.au or 0438 107 300.
