This tag came with the donation of two children's kilts, and features a poem about the design of the kilt, which was fashioned to be able to be lengthened as children grew, by adjusting the hem of the bodice. The kilts were owned by Heather White and Sandra Hooker (nee White). The Fletcher Jones kilts were made in the 1960s and are in two different tartan designs. Three sisters, Sandra, Heather and Melinda, all had kilts as children growing up in the 1960s on a sheep farm near Torquay. The kilts were worn on special occasions, with woollen jumpers worn on top of the bodices. Photos show Heather (aged 8) and Sandra (aged 6) with their younger sister Melinda (aged 1), wearing the kilts at family farms “South Beach” and “Lambidgee”, both near Torquay, in 1965. The kilts were purchased by the children’s grandmother, most likely from Fletcher Jones in Geelong, and were highly valued by the family.White folded clothing tag with black printed text and graphics.

Speros Kostopoulos first arrived in Australia in 1900, returning to Greece to serve in the 1912-1913 Balkan wars and then returning to Australia. He was a foundation member of the IPS in 1916, the same year he married Ivy Peak. In partnership with his brother Othon Kostopulos he ran successful cafe businesses in the CBD and St Kilda. He later purchased a poultry farm in what is now the suburb of Chadstone. When the farm was eventually subdivided, Ithaca Court was named after Speros' birthplace and Ivydene Court (incorrectly listed as Ipydene) after his wife Ivy.

WADE, Ivan Mayor 1969-70, 1970-71 Ivan Wade grew up in Bendigo and Brunswick, one of eight children. After his marriage, he moved with his wife and young family to Kew in 1951. In 1959, he took a year’s sabbatical in 1959 to build a new family home for his wife and four children at 222 Cotham Road, Kew. He worked professionally in the Meat Industry, successfully building a small chain of retail butcher shops, and a meat exporting business. He worked for improvements in the Trade through involvement in the Meat and Allied Trades Federation, of which he was the first State, and then Federal President. He was to be awarded an OBE for his services to the Meat Industry in 1979. Having been a long-time member of Melbourne Lions Club, he helped start Chadstone Lions’ Club as an inaugural tenant of the Chadstone Shopping Centre in 1979. He was also a tireless worker for charity, making his home available for functions raising funds for local groups. His passion for the community led him to stand for Kew Council as a representative of College Ward. As a councillor, he was elected mayor for two terms. During his term of office, new Kew Municipal Offices were constructed in Cotham Road. An active worker for the Kew Elder Citizens Association, he was involved in the establishment of an Opportunity Shop in Walpole Street to raise funds for the development of a new Centre in High Street.

In May 1987, the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria (AFV), formerly the Rheumatism and Arthritis Association of Victoria (RAAV), held a book launch to help promote Valerie Sayce (AFV physiotherapist) and Ian Fraser's new book, 'Exercise Beats Arthritis'. The book launch was the key event in launching that year's National Arthritis Week (NAW). In this photo, authors Valerie Sayce and Ian Fraser pose for a photo with Norm and Libby, characters from the federal government's “Life. Be In It" health promotion campaign. A similar photo (taken from a slightly different angle) appears on page 3 of the No 44, June 1987 issue of the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's quarterly newsletter, News Review. It accompanies an article on the book launch and other National Arthritis Week activities held that year. Many of these events were well promoted, with much support from television and radio media, including a live radio interview with Valerie Sayce by 3AW's Muriel Cooper at Chadstone Shopping Centre (see page 4 of the same newsletter issue).B&W photo of four people, standing, posing for a photo in a large room. Two of the people are in costume, while the other two are dressed in regular clothing. The two people in costume are dressed as the characters Norm and Libby from the government's “Life.

The City of Moorabbin Historical Society was formed c 1960 by a group of Moorabbin residents who were concerned that the history of the area should be preserved. A good response to a call for items related to the historical area of Moorabbin Shire brought donations of a wide variety of artefacts which are now preserved by the current members of CMHS at Box Cottage Museum . Helen Stanley, Secretary of CMHS, began producing a Newsletter for members in April 2007 to provide current information and well researched items of historical interest. Helen Stanley has produced a bi-monthly Newsletter, 2007 - 2013, for the members of the City of Moorabbin Historical Society that contains well researched interesting historical items, notification of upcoming events, current advice from Royal Australian Historical Society , Museums Australia Victoria and activities of Local Historical Societies.
