The 2021 IWNZ Conference took place in Queenstown May 14-16th 2021. 

A weekend filled with friendship, inspiration. There was plenty of conversation and laughter. Inner Wheel business was discussed and ideas shared as we undertook development workshops to help the future growth of IWNZ. Thought provoking and inspirational speakers bought interesting insights and personal development skills too.

Overall, a wonderful weekend in a superb venue with amazing people.

Inner Wheel Club of Eastern Hutt NZ294

Enthusiasm and floods of donations from the ladies of IW Club Orewa and Whangararaoa, NZ291. The 1st July 2020, first day of the Inner Wheel year they held their first meeting in a new venue, presented 5 cheques to wonderful workers in their community, had a lively, busy meeting and collected donations of wine caps, knitting, goods for Love Soup, St Chads stall - but most of all the PYJAMAS!

When the committee asked is members could support Tania Adams at the local Manly Pharmacy with her PJ drive for Children at Middlemore Hospital they imagined maybe 10-12 pairs. They were delighted that, thanks for friends and family, on the night 37 pairs of PJ's and enough money to purchase a further 6 pairs giving a total of 43 pairs ... uh oh ... here comes another three pairs ... up to 46! They finally delivered 47 pairs.

WOW - Wonderful Orewa and Whangaparaoa, 'O' for 'Awesome' and a big THANK YOU!
