Historical information
In preparation for the construction of the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's new building at 263-265 Kooyong Rd, Elsternwick, an event was held on the 8th of December, 1993, to commemorate the pegging of the site. This group photo was taken to record the occasion. A slightly cropped version of this photo appears on page 10 of the 1994 Annual Report with the caption: " "Pegging the site" of the Percy Baxter Arthritis Centre... Mr Bill Dix Appeal Chairman (on the far right) with (backrow, left to right) Mr Alan Sime (Chairman of the Fundraising Committee), Ms Marion Webster (ANZ Trustees), Mrs Delys Sargeant AM (Board Member) Ms Shirley Caulfield (CEO) Front Row (left to right) Mr John Sullivan (Perpetual Trustees), Dr Les Koadlow (President & Founder), Cr Nicholas Gold (Mayor Caulfield)." A similar photo appears (along with some other photos) on the front cover of the Vol 19 Issue 2, Winter 2006 edition of Update. The photos accompany an obituary for Dr Leslie Koadlow AO (1920-2006).
