Newsletter #41 – March 2017
Dear Members and Friends,
Tawa Memorial
We have produced a booklet (No 3 in our Tawa Historical Series) to mark the completion, unveiling and dedication of the Tawa Memorial. As you have been informed, a Service of Unveiling and Dedication of the Memorial will be held, commencing at 10.00am on Saturday 22 April 2017. You are all invited, and we hope many of you will be able to attend.
To further mark this historic occasion, at the last meeting of our Executive it was resolved that we should provide all our members, free of charge, with a copy of The Tawa Memorial, which tells the story of each of the 13 men whose names will be fixed to the Memorial.
In order to fulfil this decision, the following arrangements have been made:
I (or another member of our Executive) will be at the Tawa Library for 30 minutes from 2.00pm on Tuesday 21 March; from 2.00pm on Wednesday 22 March: and from 2.00pm and 7.00pm on Thursday 23 March, to give the booklet to members.
If those times are not suitable, a booklet can be picked up prior to 15 April 2017 from my home, 323 Main Road - members to telephone first to make sure I’m home.
Any books not picked up by 15 April will become available for sale ($10 per book) to the public on 22 April (the day the Memorial is unveiled) or on ANZAC Day 2017.
Kind regards,
Bruce Murray
Chairman,
Tawa Historical Society
