Historical information

In late 1994, a Telephone Advisors' Training Course was held at the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's new headquarters in Elsternwick. This photo depicts AFV CEO, Shirley Caulfield, handing out certificates to course participants. A cropped version of this photo appears on page 12 of the Vol 7 No 4, Summer 1994 issue of the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's quarterly magazine, Arthritis Update. It is captioned: " Shirley Caulfield, CEO, presents certificates at the end of a recent volunteer telephone advisers' training course.” Note: Although the information on the Post-It note on the verso states that the course was conducted in August 1994, this isn’t possible because the AFV didn’t move into its new Elsternwick premises until October 1994.
