The Fun Facts Bit    July – The Month of Julius Caesar.

The Romans originally referred to July as Quintilis, which was the month of the fifth season. It was the fifth month of the year until January and February were added in 450 BC. The Latin word for fifth gave it its name.  Later, the name was changed to Julius in honour of Julius Caesar, the famous Roman general and politician. Caesar was born on July 12th, and the month was named in his honour after he became dictator of Rome in 47 BC.

Additionally, July is the seventh month of the year in the current Gregorian calendar. Another fascinating fact is the realisation that the halfway point of a calendar year is July 2nd. If you need to reflect on the first six months and wish to start the second six months with new resolutions or goals, July 2nd is the time to do it!!

The month of July is typically considered the midpoint of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Alternatively, in the Southern Hemisphere, July marks the middle of the winter season.
Celebrate July and every day, for that matter. 

Happy days! Li, on behalf of the Committee

Our fellow club member,  Jane Tucker , hosted the event. Jane's family owns the  Peacetree Estate  in Margaret River, which produces organic wines with no artificial additives or preservatives.   Everyone enjoyed the evening, indulging their palate and broadening their knowledge of wine without consuming it. 

This was an interactive evening that Jane guided us through, evaluating a wine using the 5 S's: See, Swirl, Sniff, Sip, and Savour. 

The idea for an evening VIEW Club in Lennox Head was conceived on an early morning walk with friends along the beach.   It had been the dream of long time VIEW member Marie Hicks that a club for the younger women of Lennox Head be formed. After a couple of months of discussions with those who were interested the club was formed, a committee chosen and over 70 women celebrated the "birth" of the new club! The Inaugural Meeting was held in the Beef+Beach Restaurant at the Lennox Point Hotel on Tuesday 9 October 2012. We now join more than 16,000 other Australian women in their commitment in raising awareness of and participating in the work of The Smith Family.
