StarJam Wellington is officially launched!! Yay

Hi Everyone

Wow! What a weekend for StarJam - Saturday's official Wellington launch was a real blast! There were so many magical moments. The performers - Hamilton's Sensational Singers, Auckland's Magic Movers, Wellington's Renee Maurice and Hamilton's Anthony Jellyman & Holly Irvine - were total professionals and certainly wowed the Wellington audience. MC Simon Dallow did a fantastic job keeping everything running smoothly and Wellington's Deputy Mayor Ian McKinnon and the Hon Annette King were eloquent as always .

Sir Peter Jackson filmed a special congratulatory video for the launch and an extra special video bestowing JamBassadorship on StarJam's Anthony Jellyman, who originally interviewed Sir Peter in 2003. The JamBassadorship was a complete suprise for Anthony in recognition of his committment to StarJam and its Jammers.

Extra Special Thanks go to the following StarJam supporters...
