A Letter from the Organiser

A Letter from the Organiser

Well once again Extravaganza hits the boards. This year, for the second time we are having a Gala Premier, which however, has a different flavour, in that the total proceeds for the night go to Birthright Wellington (Inc.). The Executive of the Students' Association felt that it was time to return to the traditional procedure of donating profits from Capping time to worthy and deserving causes. In the capacity of Public Relations Officer for the Students' Association, I can speak for the Student Body as a whole, in saying that an organisation such as Birthright, which is at the moment still striving to gain public recognition and support, is most deserving of our patronage. For this reason, it was decided to donate the Gala proceeds, and the money collected with "Procesh," to Birthright this year. In the immediate past, our Capping profits have gone into the Student Union Building Fund, and although this is far from fully subscribed, it was felt that the least we could do, was to give the total takings of one night, to such a worthy cause.

Our tour, which is to Hastings this year, will be ably sponsored by the Young Men's Christian Association, who will receive the profits from the Hastings season.

I hope you all enjoy the show, and if so, be sure to tell your friends; if you don't (which will really knock us off our feet), just remember that your money will have gone to a most deserving organisation.
