Wc attended Rotorua. subrbranch annual meeting. are hoping to have their own nurse ii\ August. We attended the Taneatua sub-branch annual meeting. They are 'improving and will be pleased to have nurse twice monthly. No doubt that will be possible after August. I sincerely thank Mrs Southey for taking us to these sub-branch meetings. The Rangitaiki District SubBranch wa s formed on October 27th last. Unfortunately we could not attend their sub-branch annual meeting. They have progressed wonderfully and their finances are in, a sound state. The transport problem is indeed difficult. We quite realise it is a big district to cover, and with voluntary drivers rather awkward at times. We extend our very grateful thanks to those drivers.
