U3A sp is grateful for the funding support provided by:

I can only guess at what they’re viewing that has our ubiquitous Secretary’s eyes popping (David Mott) and our long-enduring Treasurer (Bill O’Halloran) laughing ... Probably one of my email requests! - Editor

As we have no President, and our Vice President, Lee Chapman, is off on a self-funded “tour of discovery”, our Treasurer Bill O’Halloran, and Secretary David Mott, have been attending various meetings, to represent our U3A.

Bill recently attended The U3A Network President’s Briefing, and David has again been ubiquitous, attending various seminars and meetings.

Firstly, David Mott’s report.

Last month started with a Mornington Peninsula Shire Council-spon-sored one day seminar entitled “Planning for Success”. Two strong messages that I picked up at the seminar were: members need to take responsibility for a club to succeed, and the committee needs to refresh regularly to improve the club.

Next I chaired a Regional U3A meeting attended by Mornington, Frank-ston, Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia U3As. Several of these U3A’s share our lack of committee members, accommodation difficulties etc.

At a previous meeting with the Shire Council our committee asked for various hall and Old Shire Offices (OSO) building fixtures to be repaired or replaced. Examples of these were the leaks in the community hall roof, blockage of the ladies’ toilet, water damage in the kitchen, and we asked that the stolen defibrillator from the hall be replaced. We also asked for an update on improved security measures being considered by council following the break-ins. It is pleasing that all of these requests have been actioned by the Council, with whom we have a very cordial relationship.

I also represented us on the Dromana Community Hall Committee, which along with the above issues, is also trying to convince the council to install air-conditioning in the hall, which may be a longer term project.

One of our Course Coordinators (Marg De Jong) and I met with two Course Coordinators from Mornington U3A to discuss matters like associate membership, shared day trip experiences for members, the possibility of shared courses, and a new project we are very keen to promote - Distance Learning.

The outcome of this meeting was that agreement was given that associate membership will not be necessary for members of either organisation when participating in one day courses or activities which are offered to the other U3A, so associate membership will only apply to ongoing courses. Each U3A will advise the other where an activity is undersubscribed eg. a bus is not filled for a day trip, thus allowing the activity to proceed and giving others the chance to join in. There is a very real possibility of a shared exercise class between the two U3A’s to be run at the Mt Martha House facility.

Distance Learning is an internet based interactive concept, offering courses to members on-line, and providing an interactive experience through a Skype type of environ-ment. Whilst it sounds complicated, it is not, and is currently working very successfully for two other U3A’s. Mornington and U3ASP agreed to work cooperatively on this project and the MPSC has given U3ASP a grant to assist in our estab-lishment of this project, as it fits very well with their aim to promote connectivity amongst the ageing community. We will give you more detail as the project progresses.

Finally, I had a meeting with the presidents and secretaries of Morn-ington and Hastings U3A’s to discuss giving support to Hastings, who have been having a range of difficulties recently, particularly related to accommodation and committee membership.

secondly, Bill o’Halloran’s report on the U3A Network presidents Briefing in May.

This briefing was well attended with representatives from as far away as Stawell and it was announced that there are now 109 U3As in Victoria.

From the agenda the main items of interest were:

Development and support of U3A’s – in regions and individually•

ACFE (Adult, Community and Further Education) funding grants•

PGSF (Program Growth Support Fund) grants process•

Political campaign roll out – “Accommodate U3A!” – to be • launched by Port Phillip U3A

Marketing Campaign: “Because your brain doesn’t want to retire” • - to be run in Seniors Week

Strategic planning and constitutional review•

Technology development – websites, UMAS, Distance Education•

Seniors Festival•

The need to establish and maintain external relationships was discussed in detail and the positive outcomes achieved by some of the U3A’s were impressive and beneficial to all participating parties. A discussion on the success of other organisations, such as Men’s Sheds Australia and Neighbourhood Houses, detailed their ability to campaign, supported by quality data, research and evaluation of the governance model.

Gaps in grants to U3As from Government were discussed, based around lack of funds for equipment, operating costs and projects.

The message from Network was to:

Help us get better data•

Document and promote good •

Encourage improved governance practice•

Strengthen local community connections•

Help us market to other stakeholders•

Explore local funding opportunities•

The conclusion was that U3A needs to learn from the campaigns and strategy used by other successful organisations to achieve better support from our Federal and State Governments. The State Govern-ment now has a framework to assess funding needs based on service delivery outcomes, which was the reason for the change to the ACFE grant funds. Network intends to drive this strategic shift to compete for more funds.

U3A Whittlesea gave an impressive presentation on their community inclusion project, which involved assisting other organisations and indi-viduals to the mutual benefit of all, such as the triggers and barriers for loneliness, social isolation, and the barriers to community connection including the implementation of age-friendly practices.

The briefing included a review of the role of Network Council, Network Victoria Needs, Distance Education, Course Co-ordinators’ Support and a Tutor Bank.

It was not surprising to learn that there are a number of funding models used by U3As and that most faced the same challenges. I found it to be a very challenging, stimulating and encouraging day.

Despite the fact that the committee (through the hard work of its leaders), has managed to operate fully and participate in all important U3A Network events, we all look forward to Lee’s return in September.

Be ConnectedEvery Australian online.

There’s never been a better time to get online.Be Connected is a FREE Australian Government initiative helping older Australians to get the most out of going online.

U3A Southern Peninsula is pleased to announce a partnership with ‘The Good Things Foundation’ to assist every Australian to BE CONNECTED.This is a FREE program provided locally, by U3A Southern Peninsula.

The program is not restricted to U3A members. All are most welcome to join regardless of age or capabilities.

Older members of our community are particularly vulnerable to social problems such as loneliness, disconnection from society, and the increasingly necessary need to participate in our technologically driven commercial world.

U3ASP, as a community-based organisation dealing with older Austra-lians, wants to help, facilitate and educate people in the local commu-nity so that they can make a comfortable adjustment into this new technological age. Eventually, U3ASP intends to make classes available online to people in rural areas through the Distance Learning initiative.

If you have a smart phone, tablet or computer, then you have the facility to go online. You may wish to be in touch with relatives living abroad

using internet based communications at low cost; send them an email, check out their photos on social media or have a video chat with them online.

Under this umbrella program, we will be customising our courses for people who have missed out on the developments and progress of new technology. We will be running small groups focusing on how to get the most out of these devices, for beginners through to intermediate level users. Classes will be assisted with video demonstrations, and lead by a tutor with the aim of easing participants into using these essential aids to living in today’s hi-tech world.

After completing these programs, we hope that you will find that it is much easier to ask what can’t you do online than what you can do.

sHIrLeY: I have one daughter who lives in Melbourne, and another daughter who lives in London with her partner and baby daughter, my granddaughter.

I am a survivor of breast cancer which was diagnosed in 2012 and I received treatment from 2012 - 2013.

Following my recovery, I took on a challenge, “The Weekend to End Women’s Cancer”, a 60km walk from Camberwell to Malvern over two days, from 1st to 2nd March 2014. This was a fund raising event benefitting Peter Mac, and with donations from family and friends. I raised $3,450 and completed the walk.

In 2016 I took on another challenge, walking The Camino de Santiago (Pilgrims walk across Spain), 800km which I completed in 42 days, and thoroughly enjoyed.

In August 2017, Mike and I walked coast to coast across England, a 17 day walk of 310 km. This walk was a tough challenge through The Lake District, climbing mountains, crossing streams, sinking in bog and all in pouring rain!. It included the Yorkshire Moors and involved climbing over stiles and getting lost, however these challenges cemented our relationship.

It’s usually only one person whose profile appears in this segment, but I’ve made an exception for Shirley Ulmer and Michael Metherell, as they’re very special.

In fact, if you didn’t see the front page story of the Southern Penin-sula News(paper) on 6th June, or heard it through the grapevine,

they married on 23rd June, and met through U3ASP!!!

Their love of long walks brought them together through our Happy Wanderers group, and they have taken on further extraordinary marathon walking challenges with more planned for the future. - Editor

Veronika Rae - Activity Leader

August 2nd 2018 is our next walking challenge. Cornwall South West Path Padstow to St. Ives in 8 days self guided.

MIKe: I have one son and a daughter-in-law who live in Melbourne. My late wife died of cancer in 2013 and I was her carer for over three years.

Shirley and I met doing a walk with The Happy Wanderers, who we walk with weekly. We also walk with the U3A Bushwalkers and do U3A Yoga weekly.

Our wedding was a great gathering of friends and family.

We would like to say a big thank you to all our friends in the U3ASP group. Our wedding was a great success because of the support you all gave us.

We thank you for your contribution of various food platters, and we thank Brigitte, Bill and friends for their help in decorating the Rotunda.

We are overwhelmed with your generous donations.

I thought Shirley’s idea of walking through an avenue of decorated walking poles, was “a stroke of genius”. You fulfilled our wishes and WOW, you exceeded our wildest expectations. The overall effect was fantastic. It was both fun and exciting walking through an avenue of decorated poles. The visual effect was colorful and unique and made our day very special.

We do hope you all enjoyed the day.

Like Johnny Walker, our motto is ‘Keep Walking ‘and we shall.

If you have any family, friends or neighbours who struggle with the English Language, this class is held every Tuesday morning with Viv Maughan at 10.00am. All are welcome.

The course caters for migrants and refugees who would like to improve their English. It includes conversation, reading, writing and grammar in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Here is a message from two students.

Hi. My name is Lucia Rodrigues. I am from Brazil. I have been living in Australia for almost eight years. I don’t have my Australian residency yet. For that reason, I decided to improve my English and prepare myself for the future tests of Australian citizenship; or the written and spoken part of the test. If you are not an Australian citizen, I encourage you to join our group at the U3A English class, with a lovely atmosphere and awesome Australian teachers.

My name is Tsehaynesh Abebe. I came from Ethiopia. Currently I live in Melbourne, Australia. It has been two years since I start learning with Miss Vivi, she is helpful and loves her work, each time when I have difficulties she is always there for me. I recommend the class to anyone who wants to learn, they will not regret it.

eAsY rIders CYCLING GroUp

My name is Margaret Morgan and I have been a member of U3A for about twelve months.

On Friday 15th June, I went for a ride with the “Easy Riders” cycling group, organised by Sue Dixon and Marg de Jong.

The weather was cold, wet and windy. Maybe not the best conditions for a bike ride but five brave souls met at Red Hill South to ride to Red Hill. They were Sue Dixon (leader), Trish, Sally, David and me.

At 10.00am, the designated time to start the ride, we huddled in a BBQ shelter trying to avoid the rain. It was touch and go as to whether we would proceed. After about ten minutes we decided to go and we didn’t actually get very wet. It wasn’t the easiest ride as it was mostly up hill to the most important part of the event ‘THE COFFEE SHOP’. Suit-ably refreshed we set off back to our cars and guess what! We managed that in half the time as it was all downhill.

Marg de Jong joined us for coffee which was lovely. She had some ‘poor excuse’ about a ‘sore leg’ which she didn’t want to do any more damage to. One of the joys of getting older.

Anyway I think we all enjoyed ourselves despite the weather. I certainly did. I could have stayed home and ‘done the ironing’ and my mother-in-law would have been

horrified as the ironing would have been more important. At my age, (73) my own mother had dementia. As for the ironing it will eventually take care of itself.

As a service to U3ASP members, your committee has decided to publish information about the latest scams in each newsletter to keep you up to date and aware of these insidious phone, door-to-door, postal and internet issues. We are appreciative of this service to the community from the ACCC. Further material is sourced from consumer watchdog Choice magazine and Choice Community website.

Anyone can register on scamwatch.gov.au. to receive email alerts re the latest scams, or just check out their website.

Australians lost more money to scammers in 2017 than in any other year since the ACCC began reporting on scam activity.

According to the ACCC’s ninth annual Targeting scams report, more than 200,000 scam reports were submitted to the ACCC, Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network (ACORN) and other federal and state-based government agencies in 2017. Total losses reported were $340 million – a $40 million increase compared to 2016.

The ACCC is warning consumers to beware of scammers imperson-ating energy and telecommunications providers and demanding payments. Scamwatch has received 5000 reports of fake billing scams in the last 12 months, with reported losses of close to $8000.

• 10 •

N E W S L E T T E R


The scammers typically impersonate well known companies such as Origin, AGL, Telstra and Optus via email, or letter, which include a logo and design features closely copied from the genuine provider to fool people into assuming the bills are real.

The bill states the account is overdue and if not paid immediately the customer will incur late charges or be disconnected. Alternatively, the bill may claim that the customer has overpaid and is owed a refund, or that the bill is due and ready to pay. Contact your communications or energy provider directly via the company’s official channels to verify that the email or letter is genuine.

Tips on how to protect yourself from this scam:

Never use the contact details provided on the • suspicious email or letter but instead use an inde-pendent source to locate contact details such as a past bill or the phone book.

If you receive a bill outside of your normal billing • cycle, or don’t expect to receive an overdue notice, call your provider to check whether it is legitimate.

If you are not a customer of the company simply • delete the email.

Never click on links or open attachments in an • email from an unverified sender – they may contain a malicious virus.

Never send money or give credit card details, online account • details or personal information to anyone you don’t know or trust and never by email or over the phone.

Keep your computer secure – always update your firewall, anti-virus • and anti-spyware software, and only buy from a verified source.

Each week the ACCC receives heartbreaking accounts of people losing hundreds of thousands, and in some cases millions of dollars to invest-ment scams.

Last year, Australians reported to Scamwatch and the Australian Cyber-crime Online Reporting Network (ACORN) that they lost $64.6 million to investment scams. If the current trend continues, reported combined losses could be in excess of $100 million.

The vast majority of investment scams are still centred on tradi-tional investment markets like stocks, real estate or commodities. For example, scammers will cold call victims claiming to be a stock broker or investment portfolio manager and offer a ‘hot tip’ or inside informa-tion on a stock or asset that is supposedly about to go up significantly in value. They will claim what they are offering is low-risk and will provide quick and high returns.

Scammers will spend significant time and effort grooming their victims to invest. They will use the right technical language and also offer professional looking websites and documents to convince victims they are legitimate. It’s often only when people try to cash out their invest-ment that they realise their money is gone.

Two other types of investments where scams are prevalent are cryp-tocurrency trading and binary options. Cryptocurrency trading scams have grown significantly in the past 12 months and are now the second most common type of investment scam offer pushed on victims.

Tips on how to protect yourself from this scam:

The clearest warning sign you’re dealing an investment scammer • is how they contact you and the promises they make. It can be very difficult to tell what is and isn’t legitimate these days. If someone calls, emails or texts you out of the blue with investment

advice, don’t engage with them no matter how legitimate they sound. Hang up the phone, or delete the email or text. If you’re searching for new investment opportunities online, don’t always trust what you read. It’s easy for scammers to create professional looking investment websites.

If you are keen to invest, start by visiting ASIC’s MoneySmart • website. This a fantastic resource that explains the steps you should take before committing to an investment and how to avoid scammers. Always check ASIC’s list of companies you should not deal with before you invest.

Ticketmaster suffered a Global Breach and it’s Australian users are being warned to change their passwords for the site and also keep an eye out for strange transactions.

If you receive an email about jury duty it could be a scam. Jury notifications will not be sent via email.

Australians are being warned not to open any email claiming to • come from Medicare, after authorities uncovered a sophisticated scam luring unsuspecting victims to a copy of the myGov website.

FUrTHer TIps To HeLp AVoId BeING A VICTIM

If you are dealing with eBay, scammers may try to lure you into • dealing with them outside that platform. By doing so, they can avoid eBay protection and you’re unlikely to see your item or your money again.
