History Monash Inc is thrilled to have received $3200 at the Community Bank Pinewood Pitch Night on Thursday 10 November 2022. This money will enable HM to buy an A3 scanner and archival materials to preserve and catalogue the Looker-Newton real estate collection, which dates back to 1879. (See the website article under www.historymonash.org.au/Collection/Artefacts Business and Industrial.) History Monash was one of twelve finalists shortlisted after a written application process, and each finalist delivered a three minute “pitch” to potential sponsors.

We congratulate other finalists, all of whom support worthy causes in our local area.

We thank most sincerely Community Bank Pinewood (part of Bendigo Bank) for its ongoing generosity as a sponsor and for its support for the local community. We very much value being able to participate in the Pitch process.  We also thank all of the other sponsors.

We encourage our members and the local community to support Community Bank Pinewood.  Without it, many local organisations would not be able to undertake valuable projects in the community.
