On Thursday, February 11, members of VIEW from Batemans Bay, Milton and Ulladulla enjoyed an afternoon tea at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club with Senator the Hon Marise Payne and Senator Jim Molan as part of their south Coast tour to hear about concerns and problems women and families face.
VIEW stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women and supports the Smith Family and the Learning for Life Program and helping young Australians in need to get the most out of their education. The club was established in 1997 for women interested in meeting regularly with other women from all walks of life, providing them with an outlet to help others, as well as establishing lasting friendships and contributing to the community. We will be celebrating 60 years of VIEW in Australia in May with a function at the Soldiers Club.
