Twin Waters VIEW Club
About
Twin Waters VIEW Club was formed in 2006.
Currently, the Club sponsors ten Smith Family Learning for Life students and is actively involved in fundraising activities to raise donations for The Smith Family programs.
We are a dynamic club of approximately 100 members who actively fundraise to support our 10 sponsored Learning for Life students who are currently enrolled in secondary school and university. We are proud to also support hundreds of disadvantaged students each year by raising funds that are donated to The Smith Family educational program initiatives, and by providing hundreds of backpacks filled with stationery items for distribution to local families in need at Christmastime. The Twin Waters VIEW Club are a fun group who enjoy delicious meals at our monthly luncheon meetings that are held at The Loose Goose Restaurant. At each meeting we have an interesting guest speaker and raise funds from raffle prizes and book and jam stalls. Our members are very welcoming and our club has been the platform in forming many long and lasting friendships. We strive to make everyone who attend our meetings leave feeling positive and happy.
We are always open to new members, so please get in touch today and come and see what it's all about.

World Population Day in July 2024
This year, our July lunch meeting fell on World Population Day. It’s an annual event observed on July 11th each year and was established by the United Nations as a result of the massive interest in Five Billion Day in 1987. It focuses on the importance of population issues including family planning, gender equality, environmental impacts and human rights concerns.
To make the day even more special we had four guests and welcomed two new Members, Pauline and Liz to our happy clan. We welcome new members to our Club.World Population Day

World Population Day
We had a bit of fun with allocated seating at tables representing each of the seven continents of the world. The tables had been decorated by our very creative VIXEN team members from their personal collections of travel memorabilia and the whole veranda was adorned with hundreds of bunting flags from around the world.
Doreen prepared a trivia quiz related to the theme, and we all failed miserably

November 2023 Dancing Competition

November 2023 Dancing Competition
Members and guests enjoyed a Mexican Hat dance competition, exhausting for those volunteers who took part, and a Jumping Jellybean game, followed by an attempted smashing of the traditional pinata, which proved far too resistant, despite a fair pummelling. Raffles and competitions were held throughout and a conga line danced and swayed to Mambo No 5 Maracas have never sounded so good.
All in all, it was a spectacular way to honour the past 17 years, and welcome the next.
Celebrating with Tequila Sunrises

Celebrating with Tequila Sunrises
Our birthday celebrations started with a visit to the bar for a Tequila Sunrise, handmade with love, passion and a good drop of the good stuff, by Doreen, followed by a lot of chatting, dancing, photos and shaking of maracas.
The VIXENS decorating team again did us proud creating a stunning backdrop of colour and vibrancy. Coupled with the upbeat sounds of the Mariachi band and Tijuana Brass, our senoritas were transported to another place and time..
August 2023 Daffodil Day

August 2023 Daffodil Day
Our VIXENS dressed the verandah in stunning shades of yellow for Daffodil Day, to show our support for those with cancer. Many of us have been touched in some way by cancer, be it ourselves, a friend or loved ones. Daffodil Day represents hope, and our thoughts and love go out to all those who are just beginning, receiving, or completing their treatment now.
We also held a fun competition where we had to match photographs of pets with photos of their respective owners. Luana won the prize for the most pet/owner matches.

Christmas In July 2023
Members celebrated Christmas In July in style under a canopy of fairy lights, surrounded by tinsel, decorative tables and a spectacular Christmas Tree. Four new Members were welcomed, and seven Members celebrated their July birthday's. A traditional Christmas dinner was served with succulent turkey and roasted vegetables, followed by Christmas pudding with brandy custard and ice cream.
Our guest speaker was Dorothy Gillingham from Knitted Knockers, a not-for-profit organisation engaging groups all over Australia to knit prosthesis for breast cancer survivors.
