It aimed to: 'share news about Kew happenings and Kew people, and to exchange ideas about living in Kew'. Later issues gradually evolved into a 4-page, quarto sized publication.

Various PartiesReference, Research, InformationArranged by Secondary Values (value of records to users)The Kew Recreation Integration Project was an initiative that began in 1986 aimed at providing the same opportunities for those who had mental and physical disabilities in the Kew community. This involved a community-wide initiative aligned with local clubs to increase the resources and outreach for these activities to include those often isolated and excluded from participating. The file includes: A letter from the City of Kew to the Kew Historical Society about their participation in the initiative, a flyer given out to the community, and a newspaper article on the program.recreation integration project – kew (vic.), disability services – kew (vic.), recreation – kew (vic.)recreation integration project – kew (vic.), disability services – kew (vic.), recreation – kew (vic.)
