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 280 clubs and over 13,000 women throughout Australia. For 65 years VIEW has connected with others in the community, enabling The Smith Family to reach more families in need. It provides a place for women to connect with each other, enjoy social activities, and develop lasting friendships – all while supporting the work of children’s education charity, The Smith Family.
Mackay Club President Elizabeth said, "this year when we are celebrating 65 years of Making a Difference, is the perfect time to join VIEW as social events are truly back on the calendar including VIEW National Convention in Brisbane in September.
"Our events and activities are a way that we raise funds to support the education of children and young people experiencing disadvantage through The Smith Family."
VIEW is proud to be the largest community sponsor of The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, which provides students with financial, educational and personal support. Elizabeth says this is crucial, particularly in the current economic climate.
“We have all been hit by the rising cost of living, be it power prices, food or petrol. But these rises have had an even greater impact on those already doing it tough”.
“Parents shouldn’t 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.”
VIEW nationally supports the education of nearly 1,800 students through the Learning for Life program, ensuring that they have educational support and what they need for the school year. Mackay VIEW Club currently supports four Learning for Life students.
“We are always looking for women of all backgrounds and ages to join us and look forward to welcoming new faces at our next monthly meeting,” said Elizabeth.
Anyone interested in becoming a member or coming along to find out more about the Mackay VIEW Club can email Elizabeth on mackay.viewclub@gmail.com or visit www.view.org.au for further information.
The Mackay VIEW Club meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at The Mackay Surf Club, gathering at 11:00am for an 11:30 am start.
