Mackay Women Invited to Connect & Give Back

Local women looking to connect with others while supporting children in need are being encouraged to join the Mackay VIEW Club, which is currently welcoming new members.
VIEW — Voice, Interests and Education of Women — is a national network of close to 300 clubs and more than 14,000 women across Australia. The organisation provides opportunities for women to enjoy social activities, build friendships and support children’s education charity, The Smith Family.
Mackay Club President Elizabeth said this year is the perfect time to join, with social events returning to the calendar, including coffee mornings and Mother’s Day celebrations.
“Our events and activities are a way that we raise funds to support the education of children and young people experiencing disadvantage through The Smith Family,” she said.
VIEW is the largest community sponsor of The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, which provides financial, educational and personal support to students.
“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,” Elizabeth said.
“Parents shouldn’t have to choose between putting dinner on the table or buying their child a uniform for school.”
VIEW nationally supports the education of more than 1,720 students, with Mackay VIEW Club currently supporting five.
Anyone interested in joining can contact Elizabeth on 0438 715 732, visit www.view.org.au, or find the club on Facebook at VIEW Club – Mackay, Queensland.
The next Mackay VIEW Club meeting will be held on Wednesday, 18 February, at the Mackay Surf Club. Those wishing to attend as a guest are asked to contact Rita on 0412 590 505 by Sunday.
