Speakers at Past Monthly Meetings
2021-23 "Post Covid":
Our December 21 Christmas meeting was a little different: Instead of our usual monthly meeting. It consisted of many musical and spoken word performances from u3a members, including the Folk, Ukulele, Recorder, Literature and Photography groups, and a Christmas Quiz. All good festive fun and frolics!
