ANNUAL CONVENTION.

Dear Sisters, — The time has come round once more for me to write you a preliminary letter in reference to the Annual Convention for 1927. The dates fixed for it are from the 23rd of March, on which clay the Executive will meet, to the 81st of March. The place of meeting will be Auckland. As the Dominion I’nion is now registered under the Friendly Soc ieties* Incorporation Act. the usual travelling concessions will be available for delegates. Certain preliminaries are. however. necessary, and an early*opportunity will !>e taken to explain these. The same fact of registration will also affect the representation of I’nions. Under the amended Constitution, it will now no longer he possible for proxies to I»e appointed. Each Union will have to be represented by a delegate select ed from among the meml>ers of its own District Union. If. therefore, none of its own members can attend as delegate. a member of some other Union in the same District must be chosen, otherwise it can take no part in the work of the Convention. It is hardily necessary to remind you that as early in the New '.ear as is convenient the names of intending delegates should be forwnrned to me, and also to the Hospitality Committee in Auckland. In the January issue the .Agenda will appear, and any further instructions that may be necessary.

With best wishes to each and all for a very Happy Christmas and New Year I am, dear sisters, Yours in VV.R bonds KATE M. EVANS, Rec. See 62 Xevay Road, Miramar, Wellington, December 6th, 1926.
