Heartfelt congratulations to our affiliated society member Helen Gobbi, of History Monash, who was awarded an OAM for service to community history. Helen is a very worthy recipient and last year was awarded an RHSV Award of Merit. Her citation for the Award of Merit can be read on our website here.
And to Arthur and Lurline Knee who were both awarded OAMs for the service to the community of Tatura. What their rather brief citation doesn’t mention is that they have been tireless supporters of the Tatura Historical Society since it started in 1984 and in 2017 were awarded Heritage Council of Victoria’s Ray Tonkin Heritage Volunteer Award (read more here)
