Fundraising activities vary from year to year, but usually include a raffle.
A state newsletter, which is published approximately 10 times per year, is forwarded to members by email or post. The newsletter is a way of contact for those who are unable to attend meetings or special events to keep in touch with branch activities. Articles are always welcome.
