PRESIDENT'S REPORT - Serita Mudford
Welcome everyone to a new year with U3A. For me, it is my first year as president and I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. We have a wonderful new Committee who are working well as a team and are coming up with the bright ideas. I want to thank the retiring Committee for all their hard work in the past that has brought us to where we are today, a vibrant, forward looking organisation. To help us for the future, we are looking to all members to consider stepping forward, perhaps as a tutor or sub-committee member and to tell us of any ideas that will continue the growth and well being of our U3A. All committee members will be easily recognisable as we will be wearing special badges. Later in this bulletin, you will see a notice of a Coffee Morning in April, at which I hope to see many of you. This will be a chance for us to meet and to get to know each other. Until then take care.
