Tolga Historical Society

The historians at the Tolga Historical Society had a gala evening recently when three of the groups foundation members were granted life membership of their Society.  Mayor Rosa Lee Long attended the gathering and presented plaques to Mrs Lottie Hastie, Mr Dick Daley and Mr Frank Bass and commened them for their many years of tireless efforts for the group.  All three had been prominent in forming the Society and obtaining the old railway station building and relocating and restoring it to create a museum for the town.  Mrs Hastie was the group's first president, a position she held for 17 years with Mr Daley as the vice-president and Mr Bass, a registered builder been in charge of the museum renovations.  All were most deserving of this honour.
