RED CROSS SOCIAL CLUB

In spite of the faet that war conditions have sadly depleted the working personnel of the women’s social club of the Red Cross, Wellington sub-centre, a year of activity and useful work is reported. The sick and wounded circle is as busy as ever, achieving a colection of £35/8/-, part of which was given to the Reel Cross Hospital for extra comforts for the patients. The annual shop day, organized by the women’s social club, realized £74/14/- for normal activities, and the shop day fund was greatly helped by the services of the Miramar Dramatic Society. The making of several thousand roses for Rose Day, help with the Kwart Hospital garden party, the R.S.A. carnival, the full arrangements for two \ .A.D. conferences, and for Red Cross men’s detachment parties all added to the total year’s work of this hard-working group.
