Out of Office is on!!
The building is closed all next week from Monday 14th July – Friday 18th July.
Happy holidays to the staff! Fingers crossed please that this weather continues for at least a few days.
Huge Thanks
I want to thank everyone who called down during this week to help with the phenomenal cleanup and decluttering of the building and the painting of the Hub area. What a massive job we gave ourselves and boy was it delivered on!
The place is all spruced up and looking fantastic and ready for the new term in September.
We are so lucky in the volunteers we have in this organisation – literally loads of you gave up days this week and just weighed in to scrub tables, clean chairs, sand doors, paint walls & doors, take stuff to the dump, declutter storerooms, help with making lunches and lots, lots more. It is fantastic to know that U3A Foyle is so important to you to help us out.
Seriously – so many thanks to you all x
