A Reminder to Treasurers.

Hear Sisters, I should like to remind all Treasurers of Unions that their Annual Balance Sheets and payments of Capitation Fees ure now due. Up to the present very few of these have reached me, and it is imperative that they should be sent in as soon as possible, both for the purposes

of the Annual Balance Sheet for Convention, and for the contest for the Membership Banner. Delays are dangerous, and returns that are too long delayed may ho unavoidably shut out, much as I should regret having to do so. for we like to see all Unions fully represented in the year’s accounts. Please therefore let me have all your returns without delay. 1 shall also ho glad if all 1 nions that have received supplies of the Souvenir Booklet for sale, will send me the money for the hooks.

Yours sincerely, Nellie Bkxdei.y, N.Z. T reasurer. kaiapoi, January 6th, 1912 Dear Sisters, The Annual t (invention meets in Dunedin on Wednesday, March Pith, and we urge every Union to consider the advisability of being represented. Every branch has a right to send one delegate, any Union whose membership exeeds one hundred being entitled to two. Branches which cannot do so, may, upon application to me, have a proxy appointed, but they//<w*7 enclose directions as to voting for New Zealand officers and also the following resolutions, notice of which was given at the Convention of 1911. 1. At next Convention, I, or someone in my place, will move: That Article I, of tho New Zealand (’(institution he amended to include in the Executive Committee the editor of The White Pibbox and the Superintendents of Departments. Proposed by Miss M. S. Powell. 2. That I, or someone in my place, will move that Article ft of the Constitution he altered to give larger representation of Unions, one for every fifty or fraction of fifty members, no Union to send more than three delegates to the Convention. Proposed by Mrs Blair. 3. That I, or someone in my place, will move at next Convention, the Clause in Article 10, a two-thirds vote be eliminated and a bare majority substituted. Proposed bv Mrs Blair. Will members of Convention kindly present their credentials to me at the reception, or to a Committee appointed for that purpose, to facilitate the preparation of the roll. Wishing you all a bright ai d prosperous New Year, —Yours in the work, M. W. Mitchell, \ N.Z. Kecording Secretary.
