Aside from the fun-filled festivities that we have planned, it must be remembered that all the proceeds from the night are going towards a very worthy cause....
I just wanted to draw a comparison to show you partly a reason why RangersMedia has chosen to support the charity Moni Malawi for our dinner.
Just a few weeks ago, the Daily Record launched a fantastic campaign called 'Kits for Kids'; a programme whereby people can buy the Record and Mail to collect tokens to collect towards new football strips for their local SYFA registered team. (If you buy the Record, then be sure to get involved in this great cause via this link)
This is a great programme as it makes sure that many youth teams that couldn't otherwise get new strips due to lack of sponsorship, will have new kit for next year. There's a whole rake of different options that teams can take ranging from training kits, to rain jackets to full strips - here's a couple of the packages...
However, in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world, the scenario is much, much different. Children struggle every day with hunger, lack of opportunity for an education and one of the highet rates of HIV/AIDS in the world.
Moni Malawi is trying to change that and has been involved in programmes across Malawi in order to make the lives of some of the poorest people on our planet a little better.
In Scotland, our children might have the opportunity to have a choice of colour of their rain jackets, but in Malawi, playing football is a bit of a different experience as this picture, taken in a village in Malawi shows:
Quite the difference to the chances in life that many of us take or granted here in Scotland.
However, Moni Malawi has been raising money to help the people of Malawi, something that RangersMedia has always backed with our charitable works. From charity raffles, online auctions, dinners, charity football matches and more, we've been committed to this great charity for some time. At present, the money we raised for our last charitable vent is going towards Moni Malawi's goal to build a nursery in the poverty-stricken town of Kambudzi.
So aside from the fact that you will be having a cracking night out, with amazing speakers and some good cultural music, it's humbling to remember that by coming to this dinner and simply having a good time, you are also helping some of the most needy people in the world in the great name of the supporters of Glasgow Rangers Football Club.
Following the resounding success of last year's annual dinner, RangersMedia is delighted to announce the date of this year's dinner will be Friday the 16th April, 2010.
The venue is the Wee Rangers Club on Edmiston Drive just West of Ibrox. Doors open at 7pm and the 3 course dinner will be served from 7.30pm. The cash bar will be open from around 7pm till 1am.
Scotland's best speaker John Gahagan will be our main speaker of the evening and we are delighted to announce that renowned ex-lawyer Bill Copeland and comedian Joe Cammi will complete the first-class line-up.
A raffle and auction with some superb prizes coupled with the very best Rangers tunes afterwards means you can expect little more for what will the event of the year in the online Rangers community.
