Dear Members and UC Alumni,

I am writing to you as the President of the University of Canterbury Alumni, Malaysia (UCAM), as well as the Immediate Past Chairman of the Malaysia New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (MNZCC).

The New Zealand Annual Dinner and Dance (NZAD&D) has already achieved the reputation of being “the biggest and most popular party in Kuala Lumpur”, with world class entertainers from New Zealand, every year, and attended by a wide range of prominent Malaysians and expatriates.

As the event has grown very large over the past 7 years, it is interesting to note that about 70% of the attendees each year, are “repeat” attendees from the previous years.

With about 620 guests in 2007 and 630 in 2008, and with 2 international performers performing in this year’s programme, it is expected that the attendance will be even bigger.

Last year, we sent the Flyer to all of the Members of UCAM and UC Alumni, and we thought that we would again send the Flyer to you all, as you may consider this as a positive event for you to circulate to your friends.

We are pleased to inform you that a delegation of 6 from the University of Canterbury, including the Chancellor, will be attending the NZAD&D 2009.

The MNZCC will be celebrating its 17th Annual Dinner and Dance this year, on Saturday, 15 August 2009 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

The MNZCC, together with the generous support of its Sponsors, have put in a lot of effort in making this year’s New Zealand Annual Dinner and Dance an evening of fine dining and fine entertainment for its members and guests.

* The Main Performer for the night is Frankie Stevens – back by popular demand.

* The Opening Act, at 8:30pm, will be by KAHURANGI - The Maori Dance Theatre of New Zealand. Also back by popular demand. Kahurangi commenced performing at the NZAD&D in 2002, and because of their remarkable popularity, and feedback from Malaysians and other expatriates, they have performed at the NZAD&D every year from 2002 – 2007.

* We have attached the Flyer, which gives more details about the coming NZAD&D, together with a Reservation Form.

We do hope you can consider supporting the MNZCC by circulating the Flyer to all of your friends, and you may want to consider gathering up with some family members, friends, colleagues, associates, staff members, to attend the MNZCC’s New Zealand Annual Dinner and Dance on Saturday, 15 August 2009.

It again promises to be a memorable night!


My kind regards,


UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY ALUMNI, MALAYSIA
