THE annual general meeting of the New Guinea Women’s Association of Melbourne was held in the club rooms in Collins Street, Melbourne, on August 6.
Mrs. H. A. Gregory, president, and Mrs.
G. Walker, treasurer, retained office.
Miss Pat Rowe secretary, resigned and Miss V. Youlden took her place. Mem bers expressed their appreciation of Miss Rowe’s work during the past year.
Although membership has now fallen, work for the Scholarship Fund went steadily on during the year. The Asso ciation is grateful to all organisations and individuals who contributed to the Fund from which two children are already benefitting. Another child will be chosen this year.
During the year members attended two services at the Melbourne Shrine in honour of the fallen—on the occasion of the anniversary of the fall of Rabaul and on Anzac Day.
A Christmas party was held last December. Eighty members and friends attended and £2O was raised for the Scholarship Fund.
During the year members had acted as hostesses at the monthly meetings. This had helped to make them a social success as well as defraying expenses.
Mrs. V. Pratt acted as hostess for the annual meeting. Members were pleased to see Miss Jean Cox, who had been absent for some time; and Mrs. Britton, who was on leave from Rabaul.
