brotherhood or fraternity of men who wish to recognize with
pride, the value and privalge of belonging to an
organization of 'Brothers under the skin'. The red SPEARHEAD

and respected around the world.
the affiliation's affairs are governed by a seven member Board
of Directors, elected annually. We hold quarterly open general
meetings where members hear details of future plans and
activities, and can voice their views. Social events and
activities and held throughout the year - some are private,
others are open. A newsletter "Phalia" and the website, lets
members know about current happenings within the affiliation
and with other clubs both locally and internationally.
SPEARHEAD'S contribution to the surrounding community, are
noteworthy. Since our founding in 1970, the club has collected
thousands of dollars worth of toys and distributed them to
underprivileged children with our 'Toys-or-Tots' campaign. In
