Looking for new members

Buderim 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 approximately 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.

Buderim Club President, Antoinette, said this year is the perfect time to join VIEW as social events are back on the calendar after being going into hiatus due to the pandemic. 

“We have had so much fun organising upcoming events for our club this year, including a trip to Hobart for the National Convention. These always feature fabulous dinners and speakers, and are a great way to hear about how we help children and young people through The Smith Family.”

VIEW is the largest community sponsor of the charity’s Learning for Life program, which provides students with financial, educational and personal support. Antoinette 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.”

Buderim VIEW Club supports the education of eight students through the Learning for Life program, ensuring they have what they need for the school year. 

In addition to their ongoing support of The Smith Family, Buderim VIEW Club hosts social events, including fashion parade, great Guest Speakers, Lunch outings plus the Club’s fun Birthday Party every December.

“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,” Antoinette said.
