LESMURDIE 2000 Saved from the Archives
The transcripts of the Lesmurdie 2000 meetings, which were held by the Lesmurdie Ratepayers Association Inc ( nee Progress Association) in the seventies, have been saved from the archives with the compilation of a book and c.d. Shire President Donald McKechnie officially launched the new LESMURDIE 2000 resources.
Shire President Donald McKechnie said, “I believe that this fantastic community resource will be of great benefit from an educational, informational and historical perspective.”
“With successes, diversions, and community growth spanning over four decades, past and present, I would like to congratulate the all of those who have contributed, as a community, through the association. The Book and CD is indicative of the journey.”
LESMURDIE 2000 was conceived as a way for our community to invite leaders of international standing to address us and to be questioned on their special area of interest. The aim was to seek the way towards a sustainable future. Meetings were recorded and transcripts made. From these transcripts the new book and c.d have been born.
President of the Ratepayers Association Carol Everett said, “I would like to say a big Thank You to Barrie Oldfield OAM for his hard work in bringing the transcripts to life once again, to the Members of the Lesmurdie Ratepayers Association for their support and to the Shire of Kalamunda for a grant that assisted the LESMURDIE 2000 project.”
Books and C.D’s are available for purchase by contacting the Lesmurdie Ratepayers Association.
