Outside, the fabulous Music Group got everyone in the mood by playing their terrific tunes. “It was a tremendous turn out, the vibe was amazing,” said recent ex-President of Myall U3A, Linda Leggott. “A big thanks to all the volunteers for helping make this a very successful enrollment day.” “This gives people the opportunity to follow passions and learn something new, and I want to add that it is an honour to follow in Linda’s (previous President) footsteps,” Anja Schuette, newly-minted President, told NOTA. The Myall U3A volunteers also thanked Rebecca for providing the morning tea, giving people time to meet in a relaxed environment and interact with course convenors. “A major ‘thank you’ also to Donald, our membership manager, who did a thorough job briefing and organising the whole successful event on Tuesday!” said Annie Rutter. It is all shaping up for a great year at Myall U3A, and anyone who couldn’t make it on the day, may still seek enrolment online via www.u3a.org.au. Classes commence in February, with dates and times still being finalised. By Thomas O’KEEFE Jeanette Hart and Sandy Flinn from the Myall U3A Art Group, showing what new members can accomplish.
