Mercury Bay Lions Club had its AGM.

Chrissy Roe, Dawn Schibli, Shirley Daggar, Karen Port-Philips, Nicola Hewlett, Rhonda Rutherford, Lesley Reece (new vice president), Cecily Dower (new president), Megan Henson and Julie Denning-Kemp.

Their Annual General Meeting is done in style and I mean both in the way people dress and the way the meeting is run.

It was simply well organised, and everyone is involved in some way. This is the tenor of the Mercury Bay Lions Club, a group of women who are inspired to serve their community and they enjoy it not as a duty but as a priority. These women also know how to have a good time and that is just what they did when enjoying a meal as part of their AGM at Grace O’Malleys recently. New officers for the year 2025/26 were appointed and inducted.

Megan Henson, outgoing President honoured all her colleagues and reported in a comprehensive way the many large projects and fundraising undertaken.

There are two Lions Clubs in Mercury Bay, the other is called Whitianga Lions Club and it welcomes men and women to its membership.

Mercury Bay is women only due to its charter but both clubs work together on all the big community events and fundraising projects to improve life for the people of Mercury Bay and beyond.
