Our members enjoyed an evening finding out about the View Club. Ann Dyer and Lorna Rowe spoke about the history, aims and purpose of VIEW Clubs throughout Australia.
'In 1960, George Forbes, then General Secretary of The Smith Family, saw the potential for an organisation which allowed women from all walks of life to develop interests outside the home, providing friendship, education and mental stimulation.

Today, VIEW is a national women's organisation with 13,000+ members in close to 280 communities. VIEW members make a difference in the communities, help disadvantaged students with their education and make new friends. VIEW is proud to be the largest community sponsor of The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program. Collectively, VIEW members sponsor the education of more than 1,785+ students on the Learning for Life program.
