Life Membership for Quiet Achiever

Nancy Rawlings was recently awarded Life Membership of University of the Third Age

Yorke Peninsula (U3AYP). Nancy has been a member of the Management Committee of the organisation since May 2005 and has been Treasurer since May 2007.

As Treasurer Nancy keeps all the financial records as well as maintaining membership lists, making name tags and sending welcoming letters to new members.

As a member of U3AYP, Nancy has promoted the organisation with dedication and has also volunteered as course leader for Scrapbooking, Card Making and Travelers Tales. Nancy attends the Tai Chi course each week and also supports the Sew and Yarn course, Photography and Mahjong.

Nancy truly epitomises the qualities of a quiet achiever. Her ongoing commitment throughout the years with a no fuss approach has been acknowledged and admired by many members of U3AYP. The awarding of Life Membership was a very popular decision for a humble and quiet achiever.

U3AYP is a voluntary organisation open to men and women over the age of 50 and offers a range of courses across many towns on Yorke Peninsula and the Copper Coast.

New programme co-ordinator.

At their recent AGM, University of the Third Age Yorke Peninsula (U3AYP) elected a new Programme Co Ordinator. Gloria O’Rourke joined U3AYP in early 2022 and says that she has found members to be a friendly, welcoming, interesting and diverse group.

Gloria has already enjoyed the Tai Chi course each Thursday at Ardrossan and also the Photography group and ‘Balance and Bones’ in Maitland. Gloria has now volunteered to take on the role of Programme Co Ordinator and will be working very closely with the Programme Committee to put together an interesting programme for the 115 members of U3AYP across the Peninsula and Copper Coast.
