Around thirty people gathered from far and wide at the Meningie Sailing Club on Monday, 19th June to attend the Friends of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Inc. Auxiliaries Division Region 5 conference.

Region 5 includes auxiliary groups Pinnaroo, Lameroo, Tintinara and Meningie with children utilising the hospital from these towns.

The Queen Victoria Auxiliary Division members held their Film Night at the Regal Cinema in Kensington Park.

With 155 attending the event, ‘Falling for Figaro’ was a hit and the division raised $4,300 on the night!

The Friends would like to recognise and thank Tracey and Eddie, owners of the Melville Hotel for the support they are providing to the Yorketown / Warooka and Districts Auxiliaries, Friends of WCH Inc. Every second Friday raffle tickets for a meat tray donated by Warooka Butchers are sold in the pub with all proceeds ($640 to date) donated to the local Auxiliary group.
