this month's cover

Imaginative programs come and go but the Rotary Club of Hutt in District 9940, New Zealand, has a real winner in its Sculpture exhibition – Shapeshifter. Opened by The Governor General of New Zealand Dame Silvia Cartwright, the exhibition ran for eight days, attracted more than 3,000 visitors and several tour groups, and raised some $30,000! The club plans to conduct the event again in 2006, as part of the NZ International Arts Festival. See feature story pages 18 and 19.
