From Marian Cantwell,
Honorary Secretary, U3A Box Hill
Situated in an older, eastern suburb of Melbourne called Mont Albert
North/Box Hill, our U3A was established 21 years ago in a former Church
building.
Membership
We have over 600 members and have lively competition for membership
with a number of other U3A groups, each different in style and culture.
Our group is very friendly and welcoming and we are hoping to be crowded
with baby boomers in the next few years who will add new
energy to our activities.

to U3A in 2011 to join a Tai Chi group and find that Im now the
Secretary of the Committee of Management. Each of us finds our own level
