Hastings District Libraries

Landmarks History Group

Jo McGlashan, an old-girl of Iona College and a past chaplain, was the Landmarks History Group speaker for the 12 October meeting in Hastings Library.  She spoke to a large audience on the early days of Iona College, including Miss Fraser, founding Principal, an interesting and farsighted lady who is credited with bringing the first Chinese Gooseberry (now Kiwi Fruit) seeds to New Zealand.
