“LEGALLY TALENTED” - KL BAR YLC CHARITY NIGHT 2009


Yes folks, it is that time of the year again. Once more, the KL Bar Young Lawyers Committee (YLC) is proud to showcase its annual Charity Night. We are taking a break from the usual KL Bar Idol and Battle of the Bands. Add Image

I am happy to announce the theme for this year - “Legally Talented”!

This year, on Friday, July 3 at Modestos at CapSquare we will have the good fortune of being entertained by 8 very promising talents. Yes, amongst us we have our own talented singers, bands and even pole dancers. Lawyers and friends of all walks of life and practice will come together to raise money for charity. Before I introduce the talents, let me say a few things about the charity that we have adopted this year.

The Home that we have adopted this year is the Rumah Warga Emas NACSCOM in Setapak.

It is a Home, which provides free accommodation to mainly old folks. Most if not all of the old folks in NASCOM do not have any dependents and were once homeless. Most of them are above 60 years old and the oldest is close to 80.

Since its inception in year 2004, the Home has continued to be dependent on financial support from generous donors. Apart from receiving monetary donations, the Home also welcomes gifts in kind and visits from caring individuals who will never fail to bring a smile to the residents.

The KL Bar YLC hopes to raise as much cash as possible for the Home.

Now, as promised, announcing the Talents.

The brave 8 that came forward this year in the name of charity are:

1. Jeff & The Band;

2. Off the Wall;

3. Joseph & Cara;

4. Sweet & Salty;

5. Freak “Shearn”ers;

6. Bu Bu Cha Cha;

7. Mismatched; and finally

8. PoliCious.

The winner, of course, will be determined by the highest amount of donations collected and will be crowned at about 10.30 pm.

In addition to the 8 talents, the crowd will be entertained to an opening act and a closing act by Unabashed and a special guest! UNABASHED is an independent Malaysian band that stormed into the local music scene in mid-2003.

We will also be having a cupcake sale on the Night to raise more funds. So please come with lots of change.

All members and their friends are encouraged to attend this year’s Charity Night.

Details of the event are as follows:

Price: RM30 nett (inclusive of food (including vegetarian options) and 2 alcoholic or non- alcoholic drinks)

Time: Doors open from 7 pm onwards until late
Tickets can be purchased from the KLBC Secretariat (ask for Siti - 603-2693 3585 or email klbc@klbar.org.my)

Alternatively, you can make a personal donation to the Home itself. Please make your cheques payable to ‘Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee’ with the name of the Home on the reverse side of the cheque.

If the previous editions are anything to go by, this will truly be a night to be remembered. So make a date with us on 3rd July at 2009 as a star will be born.
