“...Newsletter. No. 17.
NOVEMBER, 1936
Chefoo Schools Great Britain
Association A Branch.
This issue closes the fourth year of publication of our Branch Newsletter in this form. During this period we have practically doubled our membership, wiped out our old deficit, and built up a strong financial position. What pleases us most, however, is the way in which those just leaving Chefoo are so readily joining up with the Association, and it is a real pleasure to see how they enter into our activities on their arrival from China. They are undoubtedly the strength of our Branch, and we are fortunate that so many of them are finding their way to England. We take this opportunity of thanking Miss E. M. Broomhall, our energetic secretary in Chefoo, for all that she is doing to interest past and present Chefusians there in the Association.
With this number we wish all Old Chefusians a very happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.
