Gunnedah Day VIEW Club last year celebrated its 50th birthday.
It was formed in 1973 as part of a network of a women’s national volunteer organisation, providing the opportunity for women from all walks of life to meet regularly, establish lasting friendships and help disadvantaged Australian children through supporting the work of children’s charity, the Smith Family.
VIEW stands for the Voice, Interests and Education of Women – today there are around 300 VIEW Clubs around Australia supporting close to 1700 disadvantaged students across the network.
