Historical information

In the 1990s and early 2000s, the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria conducted a range of exercise classes under the theme, "Move It Or Lose It". One such class was a pole exercise class for the Vietnamese community, designed for people 60 years of age and over. In this photo, a pole exercise class is being conducted outdoors, in front of the Vietnamese Welfare Resource Centre building. Each person in the group is holding a wooden pole in front of them at shoulder height, with their arms outstretched. A small, cropped version of this photo appears on page 8 of the 2000 Annual Report.
