Ocean Grove Evening VIEW club celebrated its 10th birthday in style at 360Q on June 22.

National councillor Bev Orgill and zone councillor Janet Park joined the club for this special evening.

Member support leader Helen Buckley received a Making a Difference award for her services to the club. It is only the second given in the club’s history.

Janice Nation, as the inaugural president, was presented with an award for her significant contribution to the club and a number of members also received their 10 year badges.

The evening included a birthday cake, music, dancing, a raffle and a revolving screen of historical events showcasing the club over the past 10 years.

In its 10 years, OG Evening VIEW has supported a significant number of students through their education via the Smith Family and currently supports 15 students.

Not only does it financially support students, but it provides an avenue for women to work together in fun and friendship to make a difference to those less fortunate.
