Half of 2012 is behind us and we are looking forward to another interesting term. Those of us that attend U3A know the benifits of our twice weekly get togethers where in a friendly relaxed environment we studied different countries, famous people, historical events, art and architecture. The courses we can offer are only limited to what the members are interested in so the more members we have the greater the variety of topics we can offer. Many of our members research a topic and prepare presentations, either a talk, notes or a slide show or a combination of all these. Have a look at the list of whats on this term Anyone who is over the age of 50 and no longer working full time can join Cowra U3A. If you would like more information check out the membership details, send us an email at cowrau3a@yahoo.com or phone Beberley on 02 6341 1030 or Phil on 02 6342 1024
