In 1889 Packe was living in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch when she presided over the Fourth Annual WCTU NZ Convention in Wellington; she was also still serving as the Superintendent for Unfermented Wine. The meeting convened on 26 February and ended on 5 March 1889, featuring Mrs. William Jones, a representative from the British Women's Temperance Association. The Wellington chapter hosted a reception at the Ladies' Christian Association Rooms on Manners Street. That year, a Peace and Arbitration department was added to the list of National Departments of Work and Catherine Fulton named national superintendent. Packe announced she sent a WCTU NZ banner to the 1889 World's Fair in Paris and paid the Woman's Temperance Building Association for a NZ brick to be added to the "Women's Temple," a skyscraper being built in Chicago for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. On 28 February, Packe chaired the Tea and Public Meeting hosted by Wellington Union in Smart's Central Arcade; Packe introduced Mr. Field of Nelson who described his trip to England and the temperance campaign there. She also presided over a lecture on Friday 1 March at the Smart's Central Arcade: "Love, Courtship and Marriage" for young women over fourteen years of age – married women and mothers also invited. Packe's report that year on her departmental work on Unfermented Wine featured her effort to lobby the Synod of Anglican Church but she was told that "it would need several corrections before it could be received by the Synod."
