Contact Elle Millsteed on 6495 9755 or email to eloise.millsteed@gmail.com U3A Sapphire Coast, with the support of Merimbula-Imlay Historical Society, has put together a display in the show case housed upstairs at the Merimbula RSL Club in Main Street. It’s a great opportunity to see and learn about U3A Sapphire Coast history, activities and members, whilst viewing the lively display of photos, memorabilia and artefacts. Learn about the origins and history of the U3A movement which began in France in 1968. U3As are self-help groups built on the premise that collectively older people have the skills and knowledge to provide their own learning opportunities. Self-help and mutual support is the foundation of the U3A movement. Locally U3A formed as Sapphire Coast Leisure Learning (U3A) in May 1997, following interest shown by local people at a community meeting in Merimbula earlier that year. First president, Dorothy Heasty, was the driving force and founder of the group which now has over 500 members. Interested in joining U3A?
