The Kytherian
Association of Australia (formerly the Kytherian
Brotherhood of Australia) is fast approaching its
centenary.
For those who
are not aware, the Kytherian Brotherhood of Australia
had its first official meeting in Sydney on 14th May
1922.
To celebrate
our 100 year anniversary we are commissioning a book
about the history of the Brotherhood/Association which
will be available for purchase in 2022.
We are calling
for submissions from our members and past committee
members of any information, photos, memorabilia linked
with the history of the association and subgroups.
A recent
example was sent to us by Olga Castrisios, who submitted
the photos you see over the page and informs us she and
her sister Matina Aroney (nee Coroneo) were the first
females on the Executive Committee of the association
back in 1960. She was also instrumental in organising
the “Younger Set” tables at the Kytherian dances held at
the Paddington Town Hall. She shares more details about
these events which will be included in the book.
We understand
that there will be many members that would like to share
their memories of the association or brotherhood.
If you would
like to contribute or would like to get involved in the
project, please send information and photos to us at
Kythera House please mark your correspondence
“For 100
year Book”
(If you
require the originals back, please include a self
addressed envelope)
If you are
interested in being interviewed instead to tell your
memories, please let us know as we will need to set up a
time and place for the interviews.
As we will
require permission to print photos and text you will be
asked to sign a form giving us authority to use the
information in the book. Please send your submissions
along with your contact details to:

We look
forward to your input. |
