This mint cinderella stamp was produced in a small edition about 15 years ago, back in the days when cals were not available, and as an experiment for the Society to use on its mail.

It can be described as a "cal forerunner."

===========

The Voluntary Euthanasia Society of New Zealand has as its object a change to the law to allow terminally ill patients, or those whose quality of life has diminished to an unacceptable extent, the right to a peaceful death with dignity at a time of their own choosing. The Society was formed from a merger in 2004 between the Voluntary Euthanasia Society (Auckland) Inc. and the Wellington Voluntary Euthanasia Society. There are branches in Auckland and Wellington and more branches in other centres are planned.

=============

Note that the Society now has a new PO box address in Waiheke Island. The Dominion Road address shown on the stamp is no longer valid.

Present address for the Society is P.O. Box 210, Ostend, Waiheke Island 1843.

Most of these stamps were affixed to newsletters being sent out to members of the Society (with a "normal" Kiwi stamp beside it of course.)
