We always have a keynote speaker, and sometimes a second speaker as well. Non-members of the society are very welcome to come along and enjoy the fellowship of the evening, which is followed by supper.<\/p>\n<p>From time to time we become involved in hosting delegations to Christchurch from various parts of China. As the Rewi Alley story is centred around Christchurch and the surrounding region, this means we assist in delegation visits on quite a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>The branch issues a monthly newsletter. If anyone would like to go on the distribution list for it, please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:christchurch@nzcfs.com\">christchurch@nzcfs.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have any queries or wish to know
