District 202D
Taranaki Region & Manawatu
Lions District 202D welcomes you to our district webpage
Our 202D district runs from Urenui in North Taranaki across to Ruapehu and south incorporating Wanganui, Rangitikei, Manawatu, and parts of Horowhenua to Foxton Beach.
We have 33 clubs with a membership of 955, along with 3 Leo clubs in schools, providing a mix of opportunities for men, women, and young people to join. The 202D District clubs have varied membership options such as Ladies and Men’s only clubs, and Ladies’ and Men’s mixed clubs.
Lions Clubs in our district are part of a global organisation with over 1,4 million members, incorporating 45,000 clubs in 208 countries. With the diversity of cultures and this large resource of members, Lions are able to achieve so much in the world every day.
There is an annual subscription to be part of a Lions club which covers administration costs and dues.
Community members and businesses which support Lions also sometimes become involved in projects, helping to make the community a better place to live, or serving those in need. This joint effort generates a lot of fun and fellowship which builds relationships between Lions and the community.
We are always looking to build our membership, so if you have an interest to serve and make a difference, please take the opportunity to contact a Lion in your community.
Our District Calendar is TBA here
District Governor - Denis Hurcomb
202D Theme: "LIONS MOVE MOUNTAINS!"
I have been married to Barbara for 52 years, we have two daughters and eight grandchildren that we are very proud of. Barbara and I farmed in the Kaponga area for thirty years and we also owned the local four square for ten years during that time. We now live in Hawera but I am still a member of the Kaponga Lions club, which I joined in 1976. I have been president twice and served as a director many times over the years. One particular highlight was organising the 25th anniversary. The friendship and camaraderie you have in Lions is very special. Completing community projects and helping the community as a Lions member is something I admire and really enjoy. I have been involved with many other oragnisations over the years, but Lions is my longest standing commitment.
I believe the work that Lions clubs achieve, not only in our clubs and districts but around the world, is outstanding and makes Lions the greatest service organisation in the world. LCIF and LMCT are two of the best vehicles we have to drive our clubs and service. My main goals are to keep our clubs working together on larger projects, while also getting our clubs to meet in fellowship. Supporting youth is also something that I enjoy and admire, and our clubs excel in it. Our youth and the formation of LEOS clubs is where our future lies. Social media is one of the greatest tools available to publicise our achievements to the public, and to reach our communities. The more publicity the better. It can only help increase our presence and to encourage new membership.
I am looking forward to my year as DG, to working with the clubs, celebrating their achievements and special events, and to representing the 202D clubs and members on the multi 202 district council.
My motto is LIONS MOVE MOUNTAINS!
