Dear UC Alumni,

We are very pleased to extend to you, the invitation from the MNZCC to join them in celebrating their 21st Anniversary. Please find below, the details for the New Zealand Annual Dinner and Dance 2013.

--------------------

The biggest and most popular Party in Kuala Lumpur is back again !”

It is with great pleasure that I am writing to you to announce that the “New Zealand Annual Dinner & Dance 2013” (NZADD) will be held on:

Date : Saturday, 12 October 2013
Time : 7.00pm – until very late !
Venue : Grand Ballroom, Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Please record it down in your diary as it has become a “must go to” event.

CIMB, Maybank, AmBank (3), Sime Darby (2), TNB (2), Dialog (8) and 40+ other companies kindly order tables every year – for 60 tables, and this year the MNZCC is optimistic to sell the remaining 20 tables, to sell-out at 80 tables, with the objective to sell-out every year from this year!!

By popular demand, we are bringing back the Lady Killers one more time, and they will perform 2 sets for a total of 2 hours.

Every year we receive an amazing amount of feedback from many kind Malaysians and a wide range of expatriates from the other International Chambers, about the great entertainment programme, fine dining, fine New Zealand wines, with a free flow of wines, beer, kiwi fruit and mangosteen juices, and soft drinks throughout the evening, and dancing until 2.00am.

They consider that the NZADD is one of the most popular and largest annual events every year on the KL Calendar!

There will also be the popular carpet auction, and great lucky draw prizes to be won, including a return ticket to New Zealand on Malaysia Airlines.

We are pleased to attach the Flyer and Reservation Form. To avoid disappointment, please send in your reservations early via email to: mnzcc@mnzcc.org.my, or fax to: 03-2144 1422.

------------------

The NZADD became the biggest and most popular event on the KL Calendar in 2007, and it has averaged over 600+ guests for 6 years, and this year, we already have approaching 60 tables that have confirmed tables and tickets, and as mentioned above, they expect to sell-out at 80 tables.

It is a huge party – come and enjoy it!


My kind regards,

UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY ALUMNI, MALAYSIA
