Merilyn Burt (Editor 2010 - July 2010 )

Merilyn retired from the workforce at the start of 2008.  She spent that year travelling, and in 2009 joined U3A Melbourne City.  This brought her back into our wonderful, vibrant city and to the discovery that she could now enjoy all it has to offer at her own pace.  Knowing that we don’t lose our skills when we retire, to find U3A tutors using their skills to benefit others was simply wonderful.  Merilyn holds an Arts degree in Professional Writing and Editing, and her passions are philosophy and discussion, wine and music, film and literature.

Anne Riddell (Editor 2007-09)

Anne’s 30-year career in publishing included working in magazines, reference books and both State and Federal government agencies. After retiring and leaving Canberra in 1999 she turned her hand to producing newsletters and brochures for several not-for-profit organisations. In 2007 she began producing our City News newsletter and various other print items. Her great interest is communication and she regards the newsletter – and our new website – as vital tools in spreading the word about how U3A promotes harmony, health and happiness in the Third Age.
