60 Years Celebrated

The Holy Trinity Mothers' Union held its 60th birthday in a joint celebration with the Waiapu Archdeaconry Festival on July 7. A large attendance of members of other unions and the Archdeaconry attended to make the celebrations an outstanding success. In future the Mothers' Union will be known as the Waiapu Archdeaconry Association of Anglican Women.
