12 Apr 2024
A jubilant atmosphere filled the air!
What an amazing day at the Lexus of North Shore Charity Luncheon on Thursday 11th April. An enthusiastic crowd of 500 gathered to hear from distinguished guest speaker, the RT Hon Christopher Luxon. The event, held at North Harbour Stadium, was a testament to the spirit of generosity and community support.
Guests were treated to a sumptuous meal complemented by wines from EuroVintage, setting the stage for an afternoon filled with engaging speakers and entertainment by AIMES Scholarship Alumni, Shan Liu, whose talent as a pianist added an extra layer of charm.
MC Matty Mclean set the tone for the day, noting the significance of Mr. Luxon's first public speaking engagement since assuming office as Prime Minister.
In his address, RT Hon Christopher Luxon shared his optimism for the future of New Zealand, emphasising the importance of building a robust economy, restoring law and order, and enhancing public services. His vision for a thriving and inclusive society resonated deeply with the audience, inspiring hope, and determination.
“At 136 days in I feel very optimistic about New Zealand,” said Mr Luxon. “We are a fantastic modern multi-cultural country built on a strong foundation. I believe we should have an ambition by 2040 to be one of the leading small, advanced countries on earth.”
As the event unfolded, guests were invited to participate in live and silent auctions, as well as purchase raffle tickets, all in support of the charitable cause. The overwhelming response from attendees ensured the success of the event, with funds raised exceeding expectations.
The charity luncheon would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors including Lexus of North Shore, Oceanbridge, EuroVintage Wines, and Benefitz.
The North Harbour Club President, Mike Atkinson, expressed gratitude to members for their continuous support and highlighted the invaluable contributions of the North Harbour Club to the region, underscoring the importance of events like the AIMES Awards Gala Dinner.
In closing, heartfelt thanks were extended to all who attended, sponsors, and supporters, reaffirming the collective effort to make a positive impact on the community. The Lexus of North Shore Charity Luncheon was not only an opportunity to come together for a worthy cause but also a celebration of generosity, unity, and hope for a brighter future. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a special day!
