Community Recognition Statement

Across Australia there are approximately 300 View Clubs with over 17,000 members.

VIEW was established in 1960 and stands for Voice, Interests and Entertainment of Women.

VIEW raises much-needed money to support the education of disadvantaged children by helping to fund the Smith Family's education programs.

VIEW also sponsors more than 1350 Learning for Life students.

In 2017-2018, VIEW members raised over $1 million to support the Smith Family.

Recently I visited my local Ingleburn VIEW Club.

They are a tremendous group of ladies who have a lot of fun together and share much laughter.

The Ingleburn Club also support the Learning for Life program by sponsoring two students.

At the meeting I addressed the VIEW members on '7 Lessons My Mother Taught Me'.

After I spoke I gave the floor to the VIEW members for them to share their wisdom and experiences with me.

 Suffice to say I came away from the lunch a lot wiser and with a lot to think about.

I commend the Ingleburn VIEW club for its tremendous work and wish them every success in the future.
