Outing to Mildura Office Works

President Lorraine and Learning for Life student representative, Dee, visited the Mildura Office Works branch to thank them for their support to The Smith Family. The staff were very pleased to see us and luckily had time to talk and happily had their photo taken.

Their target is $7,800 and at the time of our visit had raised approximately $3,000. The shop looked great with posters and cut outs of character children spread all around the counter and shop entrance. It was easy to see they were great supporters of the Smith Family.

We thanked them and they all agreed it was a great cause to support and raise monies for. Manager, Dale, invited our Club to reach-out during the year if we needed any support or guidance.

Fifteenth Birthday Celebrated in August 2024

Forty-eight Members celebrated our Club's 15th birthday in August, with one special guest, Zone Councilor, Barb Young The RSL once again served a great meal of roast beef with veg or fish and salad, followed by a ginger fluff cake for dessert.

Our theme was scarves and each table adorned with a lady wearing a scarf. Fourteen of our inaugural members were with us to enjoy a most memorable day.
Local Blue Illusion, who strongly support VIEW joined us and demonstrated ways of tying a scarf, and two of our Members gave short recitals which caused many laughs.

We all went home tired, but pleased the day was such a success.
