Whether it’s sharing cross-word clues in the library, cheering on the local boxer, learning to sew, discovering talent, a family reunion, or catering for a centenary celebration, Institutes spark treasured memories. The four Personal Stories here come from suburban Clarence Park, Minlaton on Yorke Peninsula, Geranium on the Mallee Highway and Tea Tree Gully, that had an Institute since 1858. The memories are precious and linger for ever.
