REPORTS FROM THE AUXILIARIES
AUXILIARY REPORTS
On behalf of all Auxiliaries, we would like to thank all officer bearers, members and friends for their continued hard work and dedication throughout the year, and we would also like to acknowledge the wonderful support that our members received from family and friends. We appreciate the continued support of all Auxiliaries and their members. COVID-19 has made fundraising extremely difficult, however their enthusiasm and commitment has not waned. A special thank you also goes to the Auxiliaries and Fundraising Team including Laura Buck, Lucia Di Maio, Lauren Daly, Erin Davidson, Lauren McKellar and Ari Brown, and everyone at the RCH Foundation, who continuously provide around the clock help to all Auxiliaries and shown incredible kindness, support and commitment to our members, especially during the challenges of COVID-19.
