Kia Ora! Welcome to the May - June 2006 edition of NZSHK E-Newz!
In this issue we have a new Committee to introduce to you, stories from the 2006 Rugby Sevens and ANZAC Day commemorations and details of some interesting events coming up later in the year--all these and more as we prepare for the upcoming 50th anniversary of our Society. Be updated and have the edge.
Warmest welcome to the new NZSHK Committee members and congratulations to the new set of officers! Get to know more of the people empowered to run the NZSHK. Read about their messages and know more about their plans to see what’s in store for the Society this year!
Outgoing President Helen Jackson recaps the 2005-2006 NZSHK highlights and cites challenges with her speech at the Annual General Meeting. Cherish with her the fun of the Waitangi Day, Kiwi Konnectionz and the Christmas Party. Helen also thanks the wonderful people of NZSHK who have made the previous year a success indeed.
We honour the memories of the brave young men who lost their lives in the name of freedom through the observance of the Anzac Day. Rekindle the saga of valour and patriotism that made way to the birth of the spirit of a nation.
Age does not matter even in sports as the Auckland Cricket Society pays a visit to the Kowloon Cricket Club on Sunday, 9th April 2006. This event proved that great tenacity and the love for the bat and ball can definitely defy one’s age. Read on to capture the excitement as the old timers show how us how to play ball.
New Zealand teams continued their recent domination of the Hong Kong Rugby Tens competition by securing the title for the sixth straight year at the Hong kong Football Club! The Legends team also visited the AISHK.
Character building, sportsmanship, discipline and family bonding are just a rugby ball away. Catch these great turnovers as your children and your whole family run around the field and play mini rugby. Explore the fields and give the rare Sunday to your kids as they experience the fun of their youth.
53 years after the tallest mountain in the world was conquered by a Edmund Hilary, another New Zealander has created history on the world's highest peak. This year, a Kiwi double-amputee, Mark Inglis, reached Mount Everest’s summit at the age of 47. Even Prime Minister Helen Clark went into raptures about the great pride that Inglis gave to the country. Be inspired and challenged. See how one man conquered the summit of the tallest mountain in the world without any feet.
Culture is not for sale. This is what the two Maori Smokefree Coalition representatives proved after confronting the tobacco giant Philip Morris which sold cigarettes in Israel branded "Maori Mix" with packaging that included Maori designs. Indeed, no amount of money is enough to slander a rich culture such as the Maori’s. Read this follow-up to one of last issue's stories.
Hard work., ingenuity and passion – these are the ingredients to a multi-million dollar success. See how 31-year-old Wellingtonian Claudia Batten bagged a US$400M deal with Microsoft. This Victoria University graduate now ranks among the dotcom millionaires. “Easy comes, easy goes!- this saying won’t work on her because she put in a Herculean effort to reach the top.
Luck knocks once in a while but for an anonymous family from the upper North Island of Kaeo, luck hits the well after winning an estimate amount of NZ$18 million! The family wishes to extend their luck to charities that are close to their heart - a truly remarkable sign that kind hearts receive more than what they ask for. Read on the article for this might be your day
