Message from Maureen Trebilcock in Hong Kong

‘SLANZA is 10 years old - a birthday worthy of congratulations and an joyous excuse for celebrations.’

‘I remember the overwhelming positive feeling and knowledge that we were collaborating with colleagues throughout the country to create and construct an organisation which would provide a much needed national voice for the school library.’

‘Happy Birthday SLANZA - I too will be raising a glass or two of bubbles to you all from Hong Kong on Friday evening.’

Message from Dave Speedy Raeco

‘The SLANZA network was indeed fledgling in its early days as an organisation but wow did it have a heart!

I have observed many network groups in my business career and very few if any have had the core passions of the SLANZA organisation.

The modest financial support Raeco was able to offer was a very willing partnership and was repaid many times over to the company with the supportive custom of your members and the friendships we made.’
