Gunnedah Day VIEW enjoys busy month of activities

Gunnedah Day VIEW members have enjoyed a busy month of meetings, fundraising and community activities, including a visit from Niagara representatives and a successful market day at Tambar Springs.

At the group’s meeting on Friday, 23 October, representatives Sam and Hayley from Niagara changed the usual format by asking to speak first.

Members also held a sausage sizzle during Anti-Poverty Week to raise funds for The Smith Family.

The gathering took place at the home of president Joan Harwood, with members enjoying a relaxed and social occasion. The event was considered such a success that members expressed interest in holding another one.

The group’s community activities continued on Sunday, 25 October, when members travelled to Tambar Springs for a market day organised by Michael at the Royal Hotel.

The day included a raffle, with proceeds donated to Gunnedah Day VIEW to support the seven Learning for Life students the group sponsors through The Smith Family.

Monique, who also had a stall at the market, generously donated her takings to the club.

Gunnedah Day VIEW extended a thank you to the Royal Hotel and Monique for their generosity and continued support of the group’s work supporting local students through education.
