🐝🌸 What better prize for a bee hunt than flowers — just what our little bees love! 💐🐝

A big bee shout-out to our friends at Juliette Florist! We’re delighted to be jointly sponsoring three beautiful bouquets as prizes for our Bee in the City competition.

We’ve partnered with Juliette Florist for years through their Mother’s Day deliveries, so it’s lovely to have them buzzing along with us again. 🐝

And of course, a special thank you to Cecily, the talented artist behind our beautiful bee! 🎨🐝

It’s all part of a great event helping us raise funds for Life Flight, while bringing a little fun and colour to Wellington along the way. 🚁💛

To bee in to win, simply find our bee, grab the code and enter on our website! 🔎🐝

We’ll be drawing one lucky winner every two weeks, so get out there and start hunting! 🍯

Congratulations to Briony, who has won a delicious Manuka Honey Gift Pack in our first prize draw!

We’re a small local Rotary club, so it means a lot to see so many people getting involved and helping us bring a little fun to the community. 💙

There are still more prizes to come, so keep your eyes peeled, find our bee, and enter the code to enter! 🐝🔎

🐝☀️ School holidays are here, Welly!

The kids are officially out of school, so why not make the most of the school holidays, get out and about, and go find some bees! 🐝🔎 Whether Wellington is serving up sunshine or a classic spring shower, there are plenty of bees waiting to be found! 🌦️🐝

And don’t forget, our Bee in the City competition with Zeal is still buzzing along! ☕🐝 Send us a photo of our bee and you could score free coffees!

🎉 And the exciting part — our first prize draw is just moments away!

If you’ve found our bee, make sure you’ve filled out the entry form on our website! We’ll be drawing and announcing our first winner tonight, so make sure your entry is safely in the hive! 🐝

And don’t worry if you don’t win this time — all entries carry forward to the remaining draws, so you’ll still be in with a chance! 🎉🐝

📍 And about that missing sign…
We know our bee is currently missing a sign - but don’t panic! The code for the bee is still showing in the app, so you can keep hunting.

The team at Bee in the City are working behind the scenes to get the sign back in place as soon as possible.

So get the kids together, head into the city, and see how many bees you can find these school holidays! 🐝☀️

Happy hunting! 🐝🔎

🏅 Congratulations, Dennis! 🏅

Last week, the Rotary Club of Mount Victoria was proud to award Dennis Small a Paul Harris Fellowship in recognition of his outstanding service, leadership and commitment to Rotary and the wider community.

Dennis exemplifies the spirit of “Service Above Self.” A longstanding Rotarian across several clubs, Dennis has dedicated decades to Rotary, including serving as President of the Courtenay Place Rotary Club.

Always one of the first to put his hand up to help, Dennis brings reliability, good humour and a genuine desire to make a difference. Whether supporting our own club or lending a hand to neighbouring Rotary clubs, he freely gives his time, skills and experience without seeking recognition.

In his current role as Club Secretary and meeting organiser, Dennis remains a steady and dependable presence at the heart of our club. His dedication and willingness to step forward embody the very best of Rotary.

👏 Congratulations on being awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship, Dennis — thoroughly deserved! 💙💛

🏅Congratulations, Roger! 🏅

Last week, the Rotary Club of Mount Victoria was proud to award Roger Morrell a Paul Harris Fellowship - recognising his outstanding commitment to Rotary and the wider community.

Roger is a shining example of Rotary’s “Service Above Self” in action. His generosity, dedication and willingness to support others have made him an invaluable member of our club and a respected contributor across our wider community.

Roger gives generously of both his time and financial support, helping our club’s activities succeed and ensuring Rotary can continue making a difference. His commitment extends beyond Rotary too, including meaningful involvement with community organisations such as the Strengthening Democracy Project.

We are also incredibly fortunate to have Roger’s talents as a photographer. 📸 His wonderful photographs have captured the life of our club with creativity, care and an eye for the moments that matter.

Roger, thank you for everything you do for Rotary, our club and our community. Your contribution truly embodies the spirit of Service Above Self.

👏 Congratulations on being awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship, Roger - thoroughly deserved! 💙💛
