August events

Snapshots from Home with Sasha Wasley

Monday 14 August, 10.30am-11.45am

Boya Community Centre

Join author Sasha Wasley as she talks about the local history that went into her new book, Snapshots from Home. The book, set in Guildford, Midland, York and Albany during the Great War, explores the journey of Edie Stark, a young woman photographer who volunteers for the YMCA's Snapshots from Home League. Edie learns about the world when she takes her first teaching job away from home, navigating the fraught political environment of the Great Strike and the 1917 conscription referendum. With scenes at the Midland Railway Workshops and Woodbridge House, guests will love hearing the history and seeing old images of familiar local sights and spaces.

Living Well with Arthritis

There are many myths about arthritis – what arthritis is, what age arthritis affects.

They will also discuss: arthritis in Australia; the main types of arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and gout); selfmanagement techniques to help people with arthritis cope better with day-to-day activities; and services and information available from Arthritis and Osteoporosis WA.
