COMMUNITY EVENTS
supported by U3A members

THE SALTY LIME
On September 9 The Salty Lime, a stunning local venue, played host to close to 90 members of our local community who gathered to support the Children's Ward at Rockhampton Hospital.

Roxanne gave a fabulous talk about the farm and its trademark finger limes. Everyone was invited to pick a few. Other speakers, who also did a wonderful job, were Head of the Community Centre, Robyn and Melinda who is a teacher on the Children's Ward.

Kudos to the local ladies who between them knitted more than 250 bears to give to children affected by ill-health or poor circumstances. In addition to numerous bears, money was raised for the Children's Ward.

U3A ADMIN

FACTS & FIGURES:
U3A CapCoast now has 166 members including 6 life members.
There are 16 different activities to choose from with many members enjoying multiple activities.

U3A and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
A survey was recently circulated throughout U3As in Australia. It asked about the use of Artificial Intelligence within the U3A community. The survey has come out of research at RMIT in Melbourne and has the support of U3A Victoria.
The study is looking at ways that U3A tutors, admin and general members may find AI to be useful. It is also looking at how AI skills may be disseminated.

What is U3A?

"Third Age" refers to the period of active retirement, which follows the first age of childhood and formal education and the second age of working life, and which precedes the fourth age of dependence.

The term “University” is used in the original sense of the word - of an association or community of teachers and scholars, united in the pursuit of knowledge.

U3A is a community organisation which promotes healthy ageing by sharing educational, creative and leisure activities provided by their own members.

We ask for no qualification for membership and we award no degrees or diplomas. We are a lively and friendly group offering a wide range of activities and we welcome all seniors to our organisation.

We invite you to explore this website to find out what we offer to seniors along the Capricorn Coast. If you would like to enquire further, please either come along to one of our events, contact one of our committee members or email us at u3acapcoast@gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you!
