The Global brief for World Health Day 2012 takes a fresh look at health data on ageing to help us better understand the needs of older people.
Click on the logo above to visit the WHO website to learn more. Sections include the demographics of ageing and the epidemiology of population ageing. The document also outlines four key actions that governments and societies can take now for healthier and more active ageing.
Thanks to the work of our Archivist, Vida Jarasius, and a group of volunteers [particularly from Michael Mullerworth's Current Affairs class], the archival material which was indundated with water in January has been thoroughly dried and returned to our Archive Filing Cabinets. We thank you, one and all.
Amongst the gems is the Hawthorn Campus Notes series, issue 1 of which is from June 1985. A start has been made on digitising them and the first 12 issues are now on the website; see the Newsletters page. The process involves scanning, enhancing [including erasing images of staples, binder holes and blemishes] and saving in the PDF format.

The Committee has spent considerable time in 2010 preparing a 3 year Strategic Plan. We were greatly assisted in this processs by our facilitator, David Brownell, whose wide experience includes with the Boston Consulting Group, where he was Vice President and Director of the Melbourne Office, and in subsequent consulting roles, for major business clients, where he has led strategy reviews and senior leadership team development.
The culmination of this work is a plan which will enable the Committee to guide U3A Hawthorn's growth and development. A summary document is available listing the key goals and principles of the Plan. You can download the document here.
