District 202K
Upper North Island and the Pacific Islands
Lions District 202K welcomes you to our District webpage.
Lions District 202K is the northern-most district of New Zealand and the Islands of the South Pacific.
Our clubs vary in diversity and culture and are found in both city and rural areas. Most clubs have a mix of both men and women members although there are some that have men only or women only membership.
Club members carry out a variety of projects including book fairs, sausage sizzles and garage sales, fishing competitions, dog shows, collecting and selling firewood, car shows and even restoration of a memorial church. Funds raised have to be returned to the community and have been used to buy and install exercise equipment, walkways, a playground, community piano, electric BBQ’s, a helipad and town clocks to name just a few of the countless items Lions clubs in our District have contributed over the last few years.
We are proud to serve our local communities and would love it if you could spare a few hours of your time each month to join us. Club members enjoy fellowship and friendship at meetings, projects and social functions and family members are encouraged to come along as well. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please contact us and we will put you in touch with your local Lions club.
202K Meetings (soon)

2025-2026 Lions Year
202K Theme: “Supporting Clubs in Powerful Service”
My theme for the year “Supporting Clubs in Powerful Service” reflects what we as Lions members are all about serving our community in relevant impactful ways. To do this we need to continually assess and reflect and ensure that we are being as relevant and impactful as we can and that is what we are all about. By supporting each other working as teams and creating partnerships we can all make our communities better places.
My career has been in Social work then Event Management and I bring with me all that I have learned over those years, but with an open mind, including others ideas, and bringing the best out in all. Servant leadership is what Lions is based on and something I believe very strongly in.
I am a very proud mum and grandma and live in an extended family situation so very involved with my grandchildren, and have a real passion for my local community and beyond.
I look forward to the year, working alongside other passionate Lions, and seeing the positive impact we can have.
