Avril Smith turns 90

Well known Merimbula identity Avril Smith recently celebrated her 90th birthday with friends at the U3A Rummyikub group meeting, later joining with extended family at Club Sapphire to celebrate and share stories of her interesting life.

Avril believes everyone has a gift to share. Her gift is writing, publishing her first novel “Journey into Love” fifty years ago, followed by further publications of both stories and prose. Avril is the Patron of the Merimbula Writers Group and shares her birthday with William Shakespeare and Shirley Temple! Active in numerous community organisations, Avril enjoys her membership of U3A and attends several courses.

Amongst other activities, on offer from Sapphire Coast U3A in 2013 are various indoor activities, similar to the one Avril attends, including Scrabble, Mah Jong, Bolivia and other card games. If you are keen to connect and share with like minded people, why not join U3A and enjoy a social third age learning experience. For more information about games and other workshops, plus new one off events on offer for 2013, phone Pat on 6495 4345, visit your local library or look online at http://u3asapphire.wikispaces.com
