NZCA – WOMEN’S GROUP

Our next meeting will be held on Saturday 17 June 2017 at 1.30pm

at Meadowbank Community Centre, 29 St Johns Road, Meadowbank

We are delighted to have Helene Wong as our guest speaker this month.   Helene was born and bred in Wellington and has had an interesting career as an actress, film critic and writer but more important discovering her true identity as a Chinese New Zealander.

Helene (Zengcheng/Jung Seng ancestral villages Sha Tou and Sun Gai) will speak on her life and experiences growing up Chinese in New Zealand. Her book, Being Chinese: A New Zealander’s Story, was published last year to acclaim. It revealed issues around identity and immigration, both very topical today.

Please come along on Saturday 17 June to hear Helene speak about her life and her book and give a presentation on screen  –  followed by afternoon tea.

Bring along family and friends to hear this interesting talk.  Men are also welcome to come along for a fun and social afternoon.

New members are always welcome.  If you are not already a member, you can sign up on the day.

Registration costs:   NZCA members  $2.00    Non members  $5.00 (to cover hall hire and afternoon tea). 

A raffle will be held during the afternoon – $1.00 per ticket  or  $2.00 for 3 tickets  (no obligation to purchase).

Copies of Helene’s book  Being Chinese: A New Zealander’s Story will be available for purchase.
