Held annually in Autumn, our District Conference is an opportunity for fun, educational workshops, networking, sharing, skill building, electing leadership, and celebrating our accomplishments.
The next District Fifteen Conference will be held 3 – 5 May 2024 in Hamilton with the theme ‘One People: Celebrating our diversity’
This project is an ongoing collaboration with Te Awamutu Rotary, Menz Shed, Te Awamutu Paper Plus and Waipa Libraries, providing books to local children in need in 2023. We chose to continue to assist these organisations: Loving Arms, Kainga Aroha, Maori Women's Welfare League, Plunket and Women's Refuge. Working bees were held to organise books, bright boxes and reading events.

Our aim was to purchase an air mattress for Hospice nurses to use in homes in South and Central Taranaki. This would enable a terminally ill patient to stay in their home with the support of the Hospice palliative care. A finger food luncheon provided by members, in memory of a former member was held with tick sales of 115.

Showing we do care and offering support and acceptance to families of other cultures now living in our town as they settle and integrate into the community after fleeing their own country. We wanted folk to feel at home within our community as their lives have been so unsettled with many challenges in their journey to New Zealand
