The event opened with a performance by acclaimed harpist and soprano Emma Horwood and continued with speeches by MPs Tony Pasin and Adrian Pederick, Ms Elix, Murray Bridge Mayor Wayne Thorley and state U3A president Derek Bowman, which were followed by more entertainment from U3A Vocalise and the U3A Bridge Strummers.
Certificates of appreciation were presented to jill-of-all-trades Jean Filmer and flower arranger Pam Doecke, and life memberships to Pat Nuske, Bob England and Ms Elix.
Speakers also thanked all U3A members past and present, and community connections, for developing strong foundations that would enable learning and friendships to continue in the future.
