Spring Lunch
19 SEPTEMBER — Spring is in the air! To celebrate, the University of the 3rd Age (U3A) West Rand will meet at Random Harvest Nursery in Muldersdrift for a Spring Lunch in the garden. The U3A is a learning co-operative for ‘third agers’. This term was coined to refer to what South Africans tend to call senior citizens or older people from all walks of life who are no longer in full-time employment.
