A Social Event

An evening of socialising, music, conversation and dancing was held by the Gisborne branch of the N.Z. Nurses Association to raise funds in support of the C. L. Bailey Nursing Education Trust established in Wellington recently. The Trust aims to raise $50,000 to provide financial support for a lectureship in nursing studies at Victoria University, and for bursaries for nurses studying at any university in New Zealand.

Special guests for the evening were Professor A. E. Fieldhouse, head of the Education Department at Victoria University, and trustee to the board, and Mrs Fieldhouse, a registered nurse, and instructor at the School for Advanced Nursing Studies in Wellington. They are accompanied here by Miss Marie Burgess (left), chairman of the local fund raising committee.
