Ten-year celebration at U3A Marina Baixa

Last Sunday, Joan Flint celebrated her 10 years as secretary of the U3A Marina Baixa, in typical fashion, by putting on a fabulous three course Sunday lunch for the other committee embers and their spouses.

During Joan’s leadership, the U3A has seen many changes, including the growth of the membership, several change of meeting venues due to the increasing numbers, plus dealt with changes to the U3A constitution, which were all handled superbly.

As well as her secretarial duties, she has also run the three levels of the Spanish

Language Group for the last 11 years and many of the members are hugely grateful to her for passing her knowledge on to them.

Apart from her secretarial expertise, Joan along with hubby Bill, is a brilliant hostess and they have held many events in their garden for the membership, with up to 100 attendees. She has also organised 'Ye Old Tea Shop' at the Alfaz del Pi and La Nucía International Days on many occasions.

So after 10 years of fantastic service to the U3A Marina Baixa, 'On behalf of all the members, thank you Joan for all that you have done for us!'
