Frankston Teachers College Students from 1960 and 1961 are planning a Reunion at Frankston, now Monash Uni, on Saturday 6th November 2010.
For further information please email sandra@parkershouse.net and she will send
you the newsletter and details.
"Dear U3A members,
My name is Sandra Parker and although I live in the Northern Territory, I belong to a small committee who are planning the 50th Reunion of the students of Frankston Teachers College. We have managed to locate about half of our original 130 students, but are having difficulties with the rest because of changes in names and locations. We are thrilled to have 4 of our
lecturers planning to attend as well.
I would really appreciate it if you could find a small corner of your
newsletter to help us find our colleagues from 50 years ago by putting a reference to our reunion plans.
Many thanks for you consideration,
Sincerely
Sandra Parker
Member of Palmerston NT U3A
The Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School is presenting a series of free daytime concerts and invites U3A members or groups to attend. Note that bookings are essential.
Full details and dates are available in a flyer which you can read here >>
Our orchestra is in urgent need of experienced violinists to assist with the next concert. In addition they need an experienced bassoon player. If you are interested, or you know someone who might be willing to play with the orchestra, please contact the Orchestra's Manager, Ruth Muir through the U3A Hawthorn Office.
We have had a request from our Australia Post deliverer that we ensure access to our postbox for deliveries. There have been many instances where cars have been parked right up to the fence - requiring our postie to dismount and attempt to get letters into the letterbox across a car's bonnet!
We have installed car-parking guides to the right of the main gate indicating the clearance required to allow through access to the postbox by motorbike.
We ask for your understanding and assistance to ensure the mail gets through - rain, hail or shine.
We have been given multiple copies of a number of plays by well-known playwrights (David
Williamson, Arthur Miller, Henrik Ibsen, William Russell to name a few). Tutors and members are
welcome to borrow these. List is here
The Choir is seeking a pianist to assist the present accompanist at choir rehearsals and performances.
Ideally some time would be spent singing in the choir and some time accompanying the choir.
Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays 10.15 am to 12 noon at
St David's Uniting Church Hall, corner Mont Albert & Burke Rds Balwyn.
If you would like to help please phone Judith Chipman on 9848 6036
