A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT
I hope you’re all keeping warm yet busy with the many activities we have available.
It never ceases to amaze me how social our members are becoming as we get together for various programs/activities. Our Christmas in July Lunch at the Panmure Hotel saw 26 of us having not only a delicious lunch but a great time together.
Our last Travel Tales had 29 members absorbed by the talk on Kokoda by Kerrin McKenzie. Kerrin has offered to do a talk later in the year on Autism. Kerrin was very involved with this in his time at Terang College and I’m sure we all have relatives with family members somewhere on the Autism spectrum. This program will be in October or November.
What also is pleasing is that we are seeing an increase percentage wise in the number of men attending activities. This is terrific. Keep it up!
Later in the New Courses section there will be two programs that will no doubt be suitable for men and indeed all of our members.

Just a short note about our Facebook page and U3A Corangamite Website: we update our website as soon as each month’s newsletter goes out. Please have a look at the way it’s presented and let us know what you think of the format. With our Facebook page, we attempt to post as many photos of activities as possible.
To receive regular updates on your Facebook feed, go into Facebook and in the search section at the top, type in U3A Corangamite and
then it will display previous photos/stories. Press on the thumbs-up spot at the top. After pressing the thumbs-up the first time, in future when you go to Facebook all U3A Corangamite posts will come up automatically on your feed. Happy ‘Facebooking’ and have a look at what we have placed on our site over the past year or so. In the meantime, keep enjoying all you are doing whether it be in Corangamite or up in the warmer parts of our country.

By popular demand we intend to run trips to the movies in the last week of the month at either Colac or Warrnambool theatres. In the week before we will contact the theatres to see which movies are on and then let you know. The first movie will be in August. We will then contact the theatres and book in. We will conclude with a Cuppa. Costs for you will be the ticket and Cuppa (and of course the inevitable popcorn and choc-tops!) Partners most welcome.
Please let me know by Friday 10th August if you are interested in this program and then I’ll make sure you are contacted when the films are known.
