							Some of you visiting the Wellington public library recently may have seen our display on the first floor foyer.<br /><br />
							This was put together by Committee member Krystine Tomaszkc with assistance from NZAA members Norah Hollick and Anita Robertson. The idea for the display was to advertise the Association to the general public, promote our objectives and to attract new members.<br /><br />
							Sue Dale of the Wellington library said the display received a great deal of interest and many membership applications were taken during the week long display.  The NZAA will look at repeating this again in the future.<br /><br />
