25.01.2022 Welcoming our newest Tall Poppy Kelly King. In the role of President of the Hastings Business Women’s Network for the last 4 years, the HBWN Committee and Tall Poppies are thrilled to induct Kelly King as an incredibly worthy Life Member. Kelly goes above and beyond to represent the network with an admirable energy. She is an amazing ambassador for HBWN, her communication skills build positive connections with the wider community, from business groups, economic influencers t...o local, state, and federal government. Despite working through her own challenges, especially in 2020, she’s shown courage, leadership, and generosity to support our community of women, by pulling people together and remaining focused on the greater good. A tireless campaigner and founder of Dyslexia Support Mid North Coast, her passion to encourage, educate and empower people is an inspiration. Please join us in celebrating this achievement with Kelly.

14.01.2022 How lovely it was sharing a long lunch with friends for our end of year celebration. 2020 has been a challenging year but our last event for the year on Sunday, November 29 was a perfect opportunity to relax, reflect and enjoy. Hosted by Cheryl and her team at Bluewater Bar in Port Macquarie, the delicious 3-course lunch was complimented by the music of Jessica Flanagan, a brilliant young talent from Wauchope. ... Share the Dignity's #itsinthebag initiative is the annual end of year fundraiser we love to support. With all donations going to Liberty Domestic & Family Violence Specialist Service, members and guests donated 34 beautiful handbags as gifts to local women at risk. A unique and powerful way to make a real difference for women and girls experiencing domestic violence homelessness or poverty, bags were lovingly filled with essential personal items to bring joy and dignity for those in need this Christmas. Boosting our fundraising this year was the sale of exclusively designed HBWN earrings made by our very own HBWN Membership Coordinator Holly Mullington. A must-have accessory, all profits from the sale of HBWN earrings goes to Liberty and can still be purchased for a limited time by contacting Holly at [email protected] With gratitude, we thank Suzie Barnaby of Morgans Port Macquarie for their generous sponsorship of this event, and Ally from Dreamlife photography for the official photos. We look forward to seeing you all next year for a brighter 2021 To see the full gallery of gorgeous pics, head over to https://www.hbwn.com.au//long-lunch-with-friends---end-of-
