Sunshine Clubs Plan And Work

NEW MOUNT ALBERT CLUB. 1, Mount Albert Road, Mount Albert. Dear Wendy, Wo have formed a club, and the name of it is th<» "Tahia." The members are Edna Robinson (secretary), Geraldine Keogh (treasurer), Margaret Wood, Lenore Stacy, Pamela Rogers and myself. Hoping we will be able to help you. Your loving Budgetite, DOROTHY FEATHERSTOXE. A CLUB ACROSS THE TASMAN. 56, Warwick Road, Merry lands, Sydney, Australia. Dear Wendy. I wonder if you have any Sunshine Clubs in Australia. I am writing on behalf of the five girls and five boys who, if they may, desire to form a club and call it "The Kosy Koalas." I have been chosen captain, and Irene Last i« to be treasurer. I will enclose the name and age of all members. We shall all be looking forward to seeing a reply to this letter in the "Auckland Star" supplement. We are all rather in doubt as to whether we may form a club, as we think it might be only for New Zealanders. ! A New Zealand cousin of ours sends i the comic section of the "Star" to us weekly and has been doing «o for about 12 months. When I have read it I pass it on to other members until it comes back to me. I have quite a pile of them. We intend to have bazaars, pet shows, toy shows, fancy dresA parade*!, concerts and other functions to try and make a success of our club. We will have specially designed badges if we are allowed to have a club. Hoping for the best, I remain, MARY WHITFIELD (Captain). (A big welcome to this little club across the Tasman. We hope to hear more of the Kosy Koalas and their activities.—Wendy.) WELCOME, PURPLE PATCHES! 16, Windmill Road, Mount Eden, S.l. Dear Wendy, Four little friends and myself have joined together, forming a little club. We have all decided to work hard for ▼ou. We are all eleven in Standard IV. Here is a little sum of 2/6 to help things along. Good-bye for just now. We have called ourselves the "Purple Patches." Y'ours sincerely, YVONNE MENZIES.

hurrah for STANDARD IV. It will be remembered that the Stan- » I ,Y' * irls of the Otahuhu District School banded themselves into four Sunshine clubs and laat winter did splendid work for our Sunshine Campaign. This week the four captain* have written to Wendy telling of further activities—this time for the holiday campaign. Below we publish one of the captain's letters telling of the children's successful penny conceit. Our good wishes and thanks to these Otahuhu Sunbeams. ■ Standard IV., Otahuhu District School. Dear Wendy, , Thi *( (e a r 1 elected captain of the Otahuhu Busy Bees, and I am glad to say that Standard IV. girls—the class that I am in—had a large concert a we have collected £1 10/6 to help you to bring some of the country children to Auckland. During the concert one girl played the violin, while others sang class songs. Best wishes from the class, Your willing helper, PHYLLIS WELLS.
