FAMILY CAR RALLY SUNDAY 10 NOVEMBER 10AM

FAMILY CAR RALLY

A family rally is to be held on

Sunday 10th November at 10.00am. The participants starting times will be staggered to avoid following each other

This is a family event which can involve Mum, Dad and the kids Guys and Gals, and friends.

All that is required is a car, pen and paper and preferably at least two people per car. Driver and a person who reads the instructions and writes the results.

The aim is to travel in your car with your families or your partners or friends and identify unknowns along the cryptic route and complete the course in the quickest possible time without breaking the law speeding.

The rally will begin at Countdown Greenlane car park over in the corner beside MacDonalds

The total time for the rally is approximately two hours and will finish at the Auckland Chinese Community Centre where there will be prizes for the first three winners and a get together lunch barbeque to celebrate your fine achievement in navigating the course.

We need expressions of interest so we have some ideas of the numbers participating for catering purposes.

So, notify your friends and come and have a FUN morning.

Interested parties please contact:

ACCC SCHOLARSHIPS 2018 / 2019

A new initiative for ACCC will be the introduction of the ACCC Scholarship beginning 2019.

Our Community Centre has enjoyed the support, finance or work groups or service of many long serving members throughout the years. In the last few years, our focus has been to refurbish and upgrade the Mangere facility. We now have a modern facility of which we are proud of, and hopefully utilised by lots of interest groups, including our Chinese School from 2019.

ACCC acknowledges the importance of the continuity of our organisation for future generation and the need to develop committed members who will remain within this organization and lead it into its future. The Executive Committee, under the guidance of Chairman Kai Luey, has established scholarships that will both recognise committed member's contribution to the ACCC and their academic achievements and help them to achieve their academic goals so they can develop into future leaders of the organisation.

Rather than a one-off payment to successful awardee(s), it is worthy to note the significance we have placed in "continuity" and "the future". Therefore, we are prepared to support scholars through their tertiary journey, whether it is three or four years. In tandem with our Undergraduate studies Category 1 scholarships ($1000 per year), we have also introduced a Post-Graduate studies Category 2 scholarship. A Category 2 scholar will receive $3000 for each year he(she) is eligible.

Information including criteria and application form are on our ACCC website. Applications for 2019 will be opened from 01 January 2019 and closes on 31 March 2019. The successful scholars will be advised prior to the ACCC Annual Dinner.
