1 >ear Sisters, You will no doubt remember that at last Convention, the New Zealand Union decided to initiate a contest for a Championship banner, to be presented to the llranch securing the greatest proportionate increase of membership during the year. The banner does not become the property of any Branch unless won by that Branch for three consecutive years, but each Hranch winning the banner will be entitled to hold it for a year and to have its name inscribed thereon. 1 should like to remind Secretaries and Treasurers of all Unions *hat on the .'list December we shall dose the contest for the banner. It will therefore be necessary for the representatives ot all Unions to let me have, as soon as possible after the 31st December, figures showing: J The number of members on the roll at tho Ist January, 1911. 2 The number of uetr members enrolled for the twelve months from Ist January to the 31 at December, 1911. < >nly those members who have actually paid their subscription* are to he included. The annual balance sheets, if completed and returnel to un promptly, will be a convenient way of supplying this information. hut in any c.ise tn » membership
