Note of thanks
Thanks to our coordinators, many of whom are our own members. Without them we would not have had the range of programs that we have had on offer during this year.
To our financial supporter – Cobden/Camperdown Community Bank – we say a very big thanks for its continuing 3-year sponsorship that will ensure our administration is well resourced during 2023 and beyond.
Finally, to all U3A members, a very big thank you all for not only staying with us but joining in and having so much fun.
The Committee would like to wish everyone a very joyous Christmas with your families and a wonderful 2023.
Stay well, safe, busy and continue to live your lives to the fullest!
