MSWA Bulletin Summer 16

Then of course we have your regular insightful article by Ros
Harman, who talks about old friends and reunions. Someone
who always makes the best of her circumstance is Narelle
Taylor, who talks about remaking her life in a nursing home.
Dr Ong has some New Year resolutions to add to your list. And
of course, we have our news from the South West and Albany,
plus all the metropolitan Outreach News.
Finally, from all of us here at the Bulletin we would
like to thank you, our readers, for the support and
encouragement you have given us throughout the year.
Have a very Merry Christmas, keep cool, and we will be
back with you early in the New Year.
HISTORY PROJECT
The History Project has been brewing for some time (since
1987 actually, when the Society moved from Clontarf to our
new Centre here at Wilson), but now we are getting really
serious about it all. We have assembled a small team of
writers and set the rather ambitious target of completing the
project by the end of next year.
Now we are asking for your assistance. If you have any
photos you think might be useful you can mail them to
us at MSWA Locked Bag 2 Bentley DC WA 6983. Should
you like to write to us about your recollections our email
address is: bulletin@mswa.org.au
