The CWA held its monthly meeting in the Rest Rooms on Tuesday March 13 with a large attendance including two new members. Members discussed aid to district cases, thanks to donors for clothing parcels, and Younger Set activities planning a Ravenshaw Street land playground. The next meeting on May 6 at 2.30 pm in the School of Arts will be an annual birthday event with invited friends.

He warned outcomes remain uncertain.
