Hi there!
The Sign Language Interpreters Association of New Zealand (SLIANZ)
is holding a raffle.
This raffle is associated with the Deaf View 3 Conference
that will take place 8-10 March 2013 in Wellington.
Raffle prizes include conference registration and conference dinner,
and Air New Zealand flight vouchers.
The purpose of the raffle, other than the prizes (!), is fundraising for SLIANZ.
We're fundraising for two things: professional development, and
the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI).
WASLI is holding a conference in Turkey in 2015,
and we're fundraising for SLIANZ reps to attend,
as well as interpreters from developing Pacific Island countries
to be able to go, too,
so we can learn and strengthen our profession,
and better support Deaf people.
Any questions? for the Early Bird registration!
But I've already paid for the Early Bird registration!
That's fine,
we know many people have already registered for the conference.
(It's a good idea to register and take advantage
of the Early Bird discount!)
If you've already registered for the conference
and you win the raffle, you'll get your money back.
Plus, you'll still win the Air NZ vouchers.
I live in Wellington. I don't need flights!
The prize isn't flights, really.
It's Air New Zealand vouchers,
which can be used like money to purchase flights.
So if you live in Wellington and don't need to fly to Deaf View 3,
you can hang onto the vouchers and use them later
to take a holiday or visit friends or family. Up to you.
Is this raffle for Deaf people or hearing or...?
It's open to everybody!
Deaf, hearing, hearing impaired, cochlear implants, hearing aids,
blind, deafblind, anyone!
Interpreters, interpreting students, anyone can enter.
Cool. So how do I enter?
Great, I'm glad you want to enter!
There's a few different ways.
If you live near a committee member,
you can pay your entry fee to them.
They'll have a form for you to write down
your name, text number and email address.
Then you're in the draw!
We have a couple of different entry prices.
One entry is $5, and for $10, you get three entries.
Well, I live on Stewart Island.
I never see any SLIANZ people, so...
how can I enter?
If you live in a rural area,
or don't see SLIANZ committee members on a regular basis,
or are really busy,
you can still enter.
You can make a deposit yourself to Kiwibank,
through internet banking.
Enter your name and SMS number as the details
so we can text you and let you know we got your entry.
Also, please email us at slianzraffle@gmail.com
so we can confirm your entry.
Or, you can enter by going to NZ Post/Kiwibank
with the account number, and make a deposit there.
