NG Women's Club Celebrate Xmas
TERRITORIANS again responded gen erously when the New Guinea Women’s Club of Sydney asked for donations towards the cost of their annual Christmas party for children of ex- Territorians now living in Sydney.
A total of over £BB was subscribed and this enabled the Club to give their young guests—over 100 of them —a very happy afternoon in the club rooms in King Street, on December 19. The president, committee and members of the club have expressed their grateful thanks to all those who subscribed in this way.
Adult Party
THE adult cocktail party, which was held on December 20, was a great success. Many old residents attended and there were, as well, a number of active Territorians, down from the Islands on leave, who took this oppor tunity of meeting friends. The Sydney club is filling a long-felt want in this direction.
Bright Party In Melbourne
THE New Guinea Women’s Association, Melbourne, held a very bright Christmas party at the Business & Professional Women’s Club, McEwan House, Little Collins Street, Melbourne, on December 13.
Afternoon tea was served to about 80 members and their friends, followed by five o’clock cocktails. Many friendships were renewed and the old New Guinea party spirit was much in evidence.
The Association will hold its first meeting in the New Year on the first Saturday in February, and the commit tee will be pleased to welcome any new member or visitors from other States.
