Tuesday Talks, first delivered as part of Council’s Positive Ageing program in 2018, are returning this June.
Kingborough Mayor, Paula Wriedt said the talks would be held on the first Tuesday of the month.
“Tuesday Talks provide informal gatherings where older people can hear presentations on a wide variety of topics,” Cr Wriedt said.
“These are wonderful session that bring people together to hear about current issues, learn about local services or other topics relevant to older people.
