Club members will remember Hayley who was a scholarship recipient last year.  She had left a very difficult family situation and was living independently.  She spoke back in early December about her first year at University where she had been studying Law and Commerce.  She passed all her papers with excellent grades and gained entry to Law School.  However, she has decided that Law is not for her but will continue with Commerce.
Hayley is working over the summer holidays at a variety of low paid jobs in order to finance her University and accommodation costs, which will be considerable.
Both times after she has spoken, several club members have approached me suggesting that the club continues to support Hayley financially.  I am recommending to Directors that we continue to give some support to Hayley.  
Some club members have already kindly donated but if other members would like to contribute as well, donations can be made to the Club’s Charitable Trust through Warren Megget.  Donations are tax-deductible.
Hayley needs assistance at the beginning of February to pay a bond for accommodation in Wellington and also her substantial fees.
