Members can help get the word out by:
• Picking up some Book Fair bookmarks from the front counter and handing them out to people you know;
• Posting the information on your Facebook page if you have one;
• Providing the information to groups you belong to for inclusion in their newsletters.
The dates and times are:

Saturday 13 August 10 am to 4 pm
Sunday 14 August 10 am to 4 pm.
We are also looking for Volunteers to help or bake… A few words from Lutana, our resident poet:
“Dear Woden Seniors’ Friends,
Last year’s Big Book Fair was a sensational hit,
Thanks to all the generous folk who contributed their bit –
They cooked, they packed books, they gave us their time –
The willing efforts that they all made were utterly sublime!
The Hall was crammed with so many fascinating books,
The kitchen was monitored by several enthusiastic cooks,
The records, disks and story tapes were shelved in nooks and crannies
Just waiting to be discovered by grandpas and grannies.
This August’s Big Book Fair, with tables fully stacked,
Will be held on Friday 12th till Sunday 14th, to be exact,
Yet midst the browsing, wouldn’t a “ coffee-break” go down well?
Especially if there were contributions of luscious cakes to sell?
The Senior’s Club seeks folk who are happy to bake
Slices, muffins, tarts, buns or any fancy cake,
Teacakes, cupcakes, fruit loaves or even a rum ball…
(A date and walnut log is my favourite of all!)
Whichever generous contributions you may bring to the Hall,
We ‘re thrilled to accept your items on the Saturday’s Cake Stall;
And if you’d like to help out and join our cheery company
We’ll welcome you with open arms and share a cup of tea!
Please bring along your contributions for the Cake Stall on Saturday, 13th August, by about 9.30am – all items, be they experiments or a display of your forté, will be gratefully and enthusiastically accepted for sale.”

Keeping up with the Modern World
Those members who found Grahame Hellyer’s talks on digital stuff like phones useful, or attended his U3A classes and, of course, those who couldn’t attend them, may find his blog useful. The blog, a series of short articles on the internet, is designed to help seniors keep up with the changing times (not to suggest that you need lots of gadgets!) It also includes articles on Grahame’s hobby horses like keeping our brains active through things like music and learning languages.
The blog is at http://thedigitalaged.org/ . The blog has being going, sometimes intermittently, for two years, so, if reading the older entries, just bear in mind that technology is changing pretty quickly.
