Miss Collie informed us of a generous offer made by a member of the Carterton Union to organise a "Scotch Night" for the Pctono Union. Further arrangements are to be made at the next meeting re this matter. A letter of thanks is to be sent to tho Carteron lady for her offer. Furher discussion took place in reference to the quilt Miss Collie is working to raise funds. Two ladies from the Salvation Army were welcomed.
