Mackay VIEW Club is on the lookout for new members who want to give back to their community and make new connections with women in the area.
VIEW, which stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women, is a network of close to 300 clubs and over 14,000 women throughout Australia. It provides a place for women to connect in the community, enjoy social activities, and develop lasting friendships – all while supporting the work of children’s education charity, The Smith Family.
Mackay VIEW Club representative Brenda McLean highlighted the fulfilling experience of being a club member and said, “I’ve always believed in giving back and I’ve met so many amazing people that I would’ve never had the opportunity to meet if it wasn’t for the VIEW club.
“We’re very social and we do lots of things together, it’s just a great way to connect with others and help students in need.”
Mackay VIEW Club President Sandra Janson said this year is the perfect time to join VIEW as social events are back on the calendar.
“The rising cost of living has had an even greater impact on those already doing it tough, parents should not have to choose between putting dinner on the table or buying their child a uniform for school.
“This is why it is so important that we can help children experiencing disadvantage with their education through the Smith Family.”
Women of all backgrounds and ages are welcomed and anyone interested in becoming a member can call Sandra Janson on 0412653068; or Brenda McLean on 0409724285; email mackay.viewclub@gmail.com or visit www.view.org.au for further information.
Mackay VIEW Club is part of a not-for-profit national women's organisation with over 14,000 members in close to 300 communities exclusively supporting the children’s education charity The Smith Family. Photo supplied
