THE Mount Evelyn History Group will this weekend launch a locally focused book about Dr Bill Hardy and Gwen Hardy.
The pair has been described as the dynamos of Mount Evelyn community life for six decades.
The official launch is set for Saturday, 12 September, at 1.30pm at Hardy House; the RSL Hall at 49 Birmingham Road, Mount Evelyn.
The book features short accounts of the groups in which the Hardys were involved, such as the CFA, Scouts, Memorial Kinder, St John Ambulance, RSL, Athenaeum Theatre Company, MEEPPA, Rotary, Mount Evelyn Technical School (now Yarra Hills), Melba Centre and Morrison House.
The book will be launched by Dr Janice Newton, with the launch attended by their family.
The book will be $12 at the launch, and will be $15 from then on, available from the Mount Evelyn History Group, mtevelynhistorygroup@gmail.com or 9736 2935.
Paula Herlihy, president of the Mount Evelyn History Group, said the event should not be missed.
