SUB BRANCH AUXILIARY

Welcome to the Sub-Branch Auxiliary. Our object is to provide support to the Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL Sub-Branch in their charitable fund raising, and to enjoy social interaction with like-minded ladies.

To achieve these objects we have some very dedicated people who are on our management committee and who help us achieve our goals.
