Welcome to our updated version of ENews generated from our new website. The new format provides headlines and news snippets with links to the whole story on the website under 'Latest News'.

A link to download a printable MS Word version of ENews will also be provided for each edition. We ask that links to the digital edition and to the downloadable Word edition be circulated as widely as possible within your U3A so that your members are aware of news from Network Queensland.

Best regards
