StarJam is very happy to announce the appointment of Mr Dick Hubbard as a new trustee to StarJam’s board. For those living in Auckland, he will need no introduction. Supporters living in other parts of the globe may not know that Dick Hubbard was the Mayor of Auckland City for three years from 2004 to 2007. His company Hubbard’s Foods is also well known in this part of the world, especially by those who enjoy starting the day with Hubbard’s breakfast foods. Dick has not only been a great supporter of StarJam but has really entered the Jammers’ world.

Dick performed a cameo role in the show StarJam staged to open the Sir Woolf Fisher Arena at the TelstraClear Pacific Events Centre in 2005 in Manukau City. He accepted an invitation to be in the wheelchair dance section of the show, “I believe I can fly”, and got dancing with our Jammers. As well as attending rehearsals for the show, he attended our post-show Certificate of Stardom presentation and our end of year disco party. Our trustees are very much looking forward to working with Dick in the future.
