Historical information

On Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th of May, 1978, an art and craft exhibition was held as a fundraising event in support of the Rheumatism and Arthritis Association of Victoria (RAAV). Titled, "Living with Arthritis - Aids to Daily Living", the exhibition was held at St Andrew's Parish Hall in Brighton. A second "Living with Arthritis" exhibition was held two months later in Footscray. Henceforth, the respective events were commonly referred to as "the Brighton exhibition" and "the Footscray exhibition". A fashion parade and panel discussion were also held as part of the two-day event. In this photo, Glad Beard advises Frank Wyer at the plant stall. This photo appears on page 5 of the Vol 9, March 1978 edition of RAAV's quarterly newsletter, News Review. It is captioned: "The plant stall was a lovely green oasis, and represented many hours of work by many people. Glad. Beard, shown here talking with Frank Wyer of R.A.A.V., has a fund of knowledge in this department, and was able to help those whose thumbs are not so green. Photo - Ben Baxter." The photo accompanies an article titled, "AIDS TO DAILY LIVING", and sub-titled, ART AND CRAFT".
