President’s Message Thank you Macca for stepping forward at the AGM to fill the position of Secretary on the Executive Committee, and also welcome aboard Paul and Neil to the positions of Ordinary members on the Management Committee. This year, my aim is to focus on continuous improvement of the Association, to keep pace with technology and the wheels turning for smoother running of our U3A. There is still a lot of maintenance work to be done on the Margaret Street Hall and as we work together to make it happen, this will all be done as soon as possible. I have to say, I am very happy with the progress that has been made to date and, as I have said, will work hard so it continues throughout the year. Thank you to everyone in helping to make our U3A a successful group. Marvin Summers (President)

Elaine noticed this beautiful painting in Gallery Walk and had to have it.
A $2.00 fee will be charged to those who have lost their 2018 badge and require a replacement to cover 2019. Management Committee
It is a piece painted by Mal Wilkshire (deceased) who gave it to the Association to put on display quite some time ago. His legacy has gone to a good home and Elaine made a generous donation to go to the Association in memory of Mal Wilkshire.
