What are you doing for the rest of your life?  After your own childhood and a working life comes your third age - the age of active retirement.  This is a time for learning and sharing - why not join a community of people sharing knowledge.  U3A is a self managing group that derives its strength from its members capabilites and the sharing of their knowledge.  This group would typically meet regularly for activities such as outings, guest speakers and much more.  We are looking for interested people to help re-establish this group.
