Bairnsdale VIEW Club is holding a Mother’s Day market on Saturday, May 10, from 8.30am to 2pm at the Lucknow Memorial Hall, where there will be an abundance of gifts on offer.
There will be Mother’s Day gifts, crafts, cakes and slices, plants, raffles and a coffee van.
Bairnsdale VIEW Club is also 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 close to 280 clubs and more than 13,000 women throughout Australia.
For 65 years VIEW has connected with others in the community, enabling The Smith Family to reach more families in need.
It provides a place for women to connect with each other, enjoy social activities and develop lasting friendships – all while supporting the work of children’s education charity, The Smith Family.
VIEW is proud to be the largest community sponsor of The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, which provides students that are experiencing disadvantage with financial, educational and personal support.
VIEW nationally supports the education of 1800 students.
Bairnsdale VIEW Club currently supports 20 students.
Bairnsdale VIEW Club president Sue said, “This year, when we are celebrating 65 years of ‘Making a Difference’, is the perfect time to join VIEW as social events are truly back on the calendar including monthly general meetings, coffee mornings and gardening, Mahjong, singing and walking clubs.
“Our events and activities are a way that we raise funds to support the education of our Learning for Life students.
“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.”
The next Bairnsdale VIEW Club meeting will take place at Club Eastwood on Wednesday, May 7 at 10am for a 10.30am start.
