The League holds various functions and activities around the country. Many people find that getting involved, even if by just attending a lunch or dinner or drinks can be very rewarding. They meet interesting people of like mind and often form lasting friendships.
Some of our branches are more active than others, often because our office bearers, all being volunteers, run out of time due to their work commitments. Therefore, if you think that your State should be doing more, then why not volunteer to assist in organising activities?
On this page we post information on upcoming functions and activities as information becomes available. If there is something that interests you, please don’t hesitate to book in, preferably sooner rather than later.

Statement by Mrs Bev McArthur in the Victorian Parliament on the vandalism to the Queen Victoria Statue
I was disgusted to hear about the toppling of the Queen Victoria statue in Geelong and call for it to be re-erected, and for statues of historical significance to be protected. Mature people respect differing opinions - they don’t tear down statues or graffiti pieces of art. Harsher penalties may well be required to protect historical monuments from attacks by vandals.
