Historical information

On Thursday the 2nd of December 1976, the Rheumatism and Arthritis Association of Victoria held a Wine Tasting and Smorgasboard fundraising event at the Green Room Club in Albert Park. It was attended by around 120 members and friends. In this photo, Bob Glasson (centre) poses for a photo after drawing the winning raffle ticket, with raffle prize winner Janet Handley (left), and Margaret Strang (right). The photo appears on page 8 of the Vol 3, December 1976 issue of the Rheumatism and Arthritis Association of Victoria's quarterly newsletter, News Review. It accompanies a brief article titled, "Wine Tasting and Smorgasboard". It is captioned, "Mrs Margaret Strang (Right) ably assisted by Bob Glasson, congratulating Janet Handley on winning the raffle. Photo: Ben Baxter." Beneath the article and photos is some information about the Photographer: "Ben Baxter is R.A.A.V.'s official Photographer and we are indeed fortunate to have obtained his expertise on a voluntary basis. If you wish to purchase any of the Photographs appearing in News Review, con-tack the Editor direct through the R.A.A.V. Office."
