The fellowship the lack of grumbles and mature age people not talking about their medication, and the amazing life stories of the members. My Personal message. Keep Learning, widen your horizons, don't resist change, do embrace younger people if they wish to join, redefine the U.3.A. boundaries to be as inclusive of all things where ever you can Carry your age with dignity and pride, be an example rather than a grumpy old fool. We have a GREAT
U.3.A. and the learning aspects together with the ability to relieve
social isolation in this rural area is wonderful and we daily see examples
of mature age people doing great stuff. We have an old house(grandly
called U3A. House) we call home and enjoy very much.
