Pakistan Association of New Zealand is holding Azadi Day on 14 August 2004. We are looking for involvement of more child performers as participants of this programme. We are quite encouraged that a good number of families volunteered during “An Evening of Arts & Literature” and many children turned up for Dress Show phase of the evening. We are expecting same kind of enthusiasm for Azadi Day function where child performers will be participating in dress-show, tablos, skits and song performances. This is the last call for families to register their interest if they are willing to see their children on the stage. We will be holding a special talent hunt in early next week to sort out their suitability for various jobs. Please note we will not be taking children without assessment phase and planned rehearsals. Therefore contact the following members of Women Council in earliest Ladies can contact Mrs. Zahida Fayyaz Ph: 6266823 Mrs. Mahrukh Salman Mrs. Saba Tasneem Male members can contact PANZ for further discussion Shahid Azad Ph: 6260149 Mob: 027 2737903 Haroon Ahmed Mob: 0212953323 Kashif Chaudhry 0212590933 Shahzad Sadiq 021450987
In just $20, the car will be yours. Pakistan Association of New Zealand proudly announces a “Car Draw” on Azadi Day---14 August 2004. This Nissan Bluebird 1996 is jointly donated by Khyber Autos, Little Japan Autos and Global Car Imports. We are truly thankful to Abdul Wahab, Zahid Khan and Shakeel Ahmed for their generous decision of contributing to Jinnah Center.We expect others from well to do Pak business community to follow the example at the time when we will be holding a major meeting for the same project in last week of August. The money coming out of this “Car Draw” would go to the basic funding of Jinnah Center. The draw ticket is of $20 and we hope each of us will be contributing this small amount of money for the noble cause of establishing Jinnah Center. We welcome volunteers who are willing to involve themselves for the fund-raising process. Interested ones can respond to this mail and we will be in touch very soon. The tickets will be available from the start of next week. Also note that this year Azadi Day is being celebrated in Western Springs College Motions Road (Opposite to Zoo Entrance).
$20 for car and $20 for Azadi ? This means $40 for for family, this is bit heavy hand for Pakistani community, it would be first in history of Pakistani community that we are paying ticket for Pakistani BIG day, while you have plenty of generous sponsors out there, Sohni Dharti suggestion is this PANZ should make car draw ticket $40 and entry should be free If it impossible to do this, ask Tauqir Khan, ask Mateen Bhai, ask Haji Mumtaz, how did they make this possible with far less resources
In anticipation of very tough programme schedule and effective time management Pakistan Association of New Zealand has devised the following strategy for 14 August 2004 that would be strictly followed. 1-If individuals or businesses (they must be sponsors in any category) want to announce any prize/distinction or sponsor any draw, must note that they should inform PANZ of their intention well before 6 August 2004. No request would be entertained on day of the programme. This may also be noted that any such expression of interest is not an automatic choice and the final decision will be taken by PANZ in light of time availability. As we are already facing the time shortage, the probability of such announcements is wholly bound to the circumstances. Therefore if we couldn’t entertain such request, you will be kind enough to see the real reason. Contact us at 6260149 or 027 2737903 to enquire about sponsors categories and further discussion. But again keep it in mind all depends upon “time and space”. 2- Keeping in view of the time factor and effective management, any such announcement or draw will be totally managed by PANZ and stage hosts not by the any other individual. This means you can relax and we will act on your behalf. 3-PANZ will be focused on fund raising for Car Draw on 14 August 2004 and expect all others to participate, understand and respect the noble intentions of us all on that day. This remains the major theme of the programme and needs your attention.
