U3A’s oldest member, Valerie Buckley, aged 95, will cut the ribbon to officially open our new office at 2.00 pm on Tuesday 9 October, as part of the Victorian Seniors Festival. The new U3A SurfCoast office is located at the Senior Citizens Club, 16 Price St Torquay.

Surf Coast Mayor Cr David Bell and a number of councillors will also be attending. The initiative to open the U3A office has been supported by Surf Coast Shire as part of its policy to make use of any underused Shire buildings.

This special Seniors Week event will also showcase U3A courses like Tai Chi, Drawing, Ikebana and Creative Writing, and will play host to guests from a number of other Torquay seniors groups like Probus, Lions, Men’s Shed, TIA and SurfCoast Life Activities.

All members are welcome to join us for afternoon tea after the presentation. Please login and register online at www.u3asurfcoast.org.au or send an email to info@u3asurfcoast.org.au. Guests are most welcome.
