Hello Members,
As we come to the end of a very successful Term 1, I wish you all a safe and happy Easter break. If you are travelling, take care and keep up with the new COVID requirements. As I write this, it seems that we may have lockdown again in the near future. We can do this people, just be aware of where you are and, if you are unwell, stay home.
For next term, which starts on 19 April, we will have a Sign on Day on Tuesday, 13 April from 12.00 pm – 2.00 pm. For full details see Treasurer’s Report below.
The benefits of great communication are well known, so your committee has added a Contact Us form on our website to be used by current and potential new members. Please use this form to communicate with U3A Gympie committee members.
I have also requested that a ‘feedback email’ be set up for my personal use. So if you are happy with U3A Gympie, please tell your friends. If not, please direct your feedback to me at feedback@u3agympie.com to allow me the opportunity to address the problem. Our group can only improve with honest feedback, and helpful suggestions for improvement are always welcome. This and other new email addresses will be listed in the Contact Us page on our website https://u3agympie.com/contact-us/
The U3A Network QLD State Conference is coming up in May, with Lindy Bell and myself attending. It will be our first U3A conference, so a bit excited and a bit wary about it. But I’m sure we will muddle our way through it.
That’s all from me, see you next term.

This will be our last newsletter, as we have a new editor. Lindy Bell kindly put her hand up to be our news editor. So send any news items to Lindy at News@u3agympie.com before the 28th of each month. Many of you will know Lindy from being the tutor for life writing, or memoir writing as it used to be known.
