National u3a Newsletter – June 2023
The u3a National newsletter for June is available HERE. As usual there is plenty to read, take part in and enjoy. Including:
Write a letter to your younger self
A new learning initiative asking members to write a letter to their younger self. It’s an opportunity for members to reflect on their lives and think of wisdom or reassurance that they may have appreciated hearing. The u3a would like to hear from as many members as possible. Find out more on the u3a learning pages. Or Submit your letter and share your story.
