THE Ocean Grove Evening VIEW Club held its AGM recently, reflecting on a year in which it raised more than $17,600 for The Smith Family.
Publicity officer Anne Webber said the club had grown dramatically due to its fund-raising activities and its members’ involvement in the community.
“It’s grown from a small group of women four years ago to 130 members,” she said.
“Our fund-raisers are many and varied with members having a say in what programs the money is directed into.”
The club welcomed VIEW zone councillor Maria Culka to the AGM to announce its new committee.
This year’s president is Janice Nation, joined on the committee by Christine Waite, June Hansen, Helen Buckley, Pam Reeves, Jill Gillett, Marion Coppins, Anne Webber, Janet Alexander and Karen Shirley.
The club has 18 activity groups, including walking, travel, singing, movies and craft, and regularly holds fund-raising activities.
The VIEW Club meets at the Ocean Grove Bowling Club on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6.30pm. Contact June Hansen on 0422 142 882 for more information.
