We are always looking for new members so any lady who is interested in joining our Auxiliary, please come along to any of our monthly meetings which are held on the first Monday of the month at 10am in the River Rooms of the Maclean Services Club. Please note that you do not have to be associated to Defence in any way but just have a desire to assist in our fundraising efforts which go towards our ex-serving and current serving members and their families.
