Together In Sydney
The Norfolk Island Friendship League had its second annual reunion in Sydney on June 5 (Bounty Night).
The League was formed in May, 1953, its objects being to uphold the Norfolk Island traditions of loyalty, to foster a
spirit of friendship and service among the Islanders and former residents, to en courage younger members to enjoy healthy social activities and to assist in cases of hardship, sickness and old age.
Demonstrations of the League’s service are seen in its annual contributions to the Islands hospital and its meeting of all planes arriving in Sydney from the Island. It holds social functions on the first Saturday of the month to raise funds, and keep young people together.
The secretary, H. L. Leclark, can be contacted at 153 Lagoon St., Narrabeen.
