Life Members 2022

Life membership was presented to these three very worthy members on 1st March 2022.

Nominations for Life Membership, submitted by club members, are reviewed by a selection committee.

Margaret Shannon, as a representative of the selection committee, gave an overview of each recipient's history with Shellharbour City U3A.  Although they required no introduction to members, it was interesting to be reminded of their involvement, roles and contribution over many years. 

Their badges and certificates were presented by Chris Wade, our retired President.
