From the President: November 2024
President Duncan Leys reports on the sad and sudden death of Ian Stephenson in October. Always good-humoured, generous and funny with a wicked sense of humour, he was a stalwart of the Glebe Society as President for two years, then as Planning Convenor. In other news, the last Walk of the year is coming up, as is a presentation on the Glebe’s Hill project. Events were held to honour pioneering journalist Dorothy Drain (and her new Blue Plaque) and the heritage listing of Elsie Women’s refuge. Not to mention the Glebe Art Show that goes from strength to strength.
