The Sale and District Family History Group is inviting the community to a special fundraising event on Thursday 16th October 7:00 PM to be held at the 10 Bond Street, Sale . All proceeds from the evening will go directly toward the purchase of a new computer system, essential for continuing the group’s work in supporting family history research and preserving Sale’s local heritage.

Entry is just $10.00 attendees can look forward to an engaging evening celebrating local history, storytelling, and community connection.

The Sale and District Family History Group, now working in partnership with the Sale Historical Society, is based in the iconic Temperance Hall. The group has  been instrumental in helping residents uncover their family roots while documenting the broader history of the region. However, the aging computer systems used for research and archival purposes are in urgent need of replacement.

The feature of the evening will be a look at the legacy of Sale’s hotel industry, including its pubs, motels, clubs, and restaurants

Also during the event, the group will share insights into:

• The history and evolution of the Family History Group and its amalgamation with the Historical Society

• The ironic contrast between the Temperance Society’s alcohol-free legacy and the group’s publication Let’s Do A Pub Crawl

• Showcase other significant local history publications, including titles on the Sale Cemetery, street names, private hospitals, Pearsondale story, historical homes of Sale, and The Heart story

• Fascinating tales and trivia from Sale’s colourful past

The evening will also feature raffles, book sales, trivia , tea with homemade scones cream and jam and other fundraising activities, making it a perfect opportunity for community members to support a worthy cause while learning more about their town’s unique heritage.

“We’re passionate about preserving local stories and helping people connect with their roots, This fundraiser will help us continue our mission with the technology we need to do it right” said a spokesperson from the Sale and District Family History Group.
