Book, Honorary Secretary of the Auxiliary Branch, Prince Henry Hospital, Minutes of Meetings of Princes Hospital Auxiliary, Port Melbourne Branch, 1955 - 1963
The Auxiliary existed to raise funds for the Prince Henry (Homeopathic) Hospital. It did so through e.g. raffles, competitions, social occasions with proceeds usually given to a hopital representative at Auxiliary Branch annual meetings. The Branch became an Auxiliary for Peter McCallum Hospital when Prince Henry's was closed in 1991. Records were held by Phyllis Maher and later donated by Heather Wale who was honourary Assistant Secretary in 1991. It is likely that the branch was formed in 1927.Minute book of the Prince Henry Hospital Auxiliary, Port Melbourne Branch - records minutes of ordinary meetings 1955 to 1963.charities and appeals, social activities, societies clubs unions and other organisations, health - hospitals, mrs weedon, mrs m carpenter - mayoress (1962), prince henry hospital auxiliary - port melbourne branch, homeopathic hospital auxiliary - port melbourne branch -
