NCW Hibiscus Coast recently held, for the first time ever, a Tertiary Student Award Presentation and Luncheon.

This award was for $2,000, and part of the criteria was that you had to be or have been a Rodney resident who had completed one year of a two-or-more-year course.

In April 2022, at a lunch in Orewa, forty members and family friends of Colleen Edward and Belinda Manus McGeehan gathered to celebrate the ladies being honoured with Life Membership of the NCW Hibiscus Coast (NCWHC) branch.

Both Colleen and Belinda were presented with framed certificates acknowledging their service to NCWHBC that has ensured the branch has continued to advance the status of women and girls locally and nationally since its incorporation in the 1990’s.
