🌟 BIG SHOUT OUT TO COMMUNITY CONNECT SOUTH SHOALHAVEN!
What a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded volunteers and community groups from across the Shoalhaven! 💕🙌
It was wonderful to talk to other community group members about Ulladulla Evening VIEW Club — who we are, what we represent and the difference we make in our local community. 💜
And we’re absolutely thrilled with the response! 🥰
We had lots of local women leave us their contact details because they’re interested in coming along to our next Meet & Greet, joining us for our Pokeno Fundraiser, attending one of our Blanket Making Workshops, and even becoming new VIEW members!🎉🌸
We also had the opportunity to share the important work we do supporting our Learning for Life students through The Smith Family. 💜📚
A HUGE THANK YOU to our wonderful club members Bev, Helen, Marilyn, Deanne and Tracy, who gave up their time to attend on the day and proudly promote our club, our Pokeno Fundraiser, our Blanket Making Workshops and our student sponsorship. 🌸👏
Your enthusiasm, warmth and willingness to chat with everyone hlped us showcase what makes VIEW such a special organisation. We couldn't have done it without you! ❤️
A very special shout-out to the Ulladulla High School students who helped on the day. 👏 They were incredibly efficient when it came to packing up, professional, helpful and an absolute credit to themselves and our community. 💙
Thank you Southern Community Connect South Shoalhaven for bringing together so many passionate, community-minded volunteers. What a fantastic opportunity for connection, collaboration and community spirit!🌻
We can’t wait to welcome some new faces to VIEW! 💜
🧶💕 Blankets, Laughter and a Whole Lot Of Friendship! 💕🧶 August 2026
Who knew making a blanket could be this much fun? 😍
Our VIEW Club Blanket Workshops have become so much more than just learning how to make a beautiful blanket… they’re about connecting, chatting, laughing, learning something new and making new friends along the way! 🥰
There’s plenty of:
🧶 Yarn everywhere!
😂 Lots of laughter
☕ Cups of tea and yummy treats
✂️ A little bit of “How do I do this again?” 😂
💕 New friendships
🪡 Learning new skills
🎉 And the occasional proud “LOOK WHAT I MADE!” moment!
Our workshops are a wonderful way to bring women together in a relaxed, welcoming environment, whether you're a crafty queen 👑 or someone who has never picked up a crochet hook in your life!
And the best part? You don't have to be crafty to join us! Our workshops are about giving things a go, having a laugh and enjoying the company of other women. 💕
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has helped make our blanket workshops such a success, from our wonderful members who share their skills, to those who help with the cooking, setting up, packing up and, of course, keeping the tea and coffee flowing! ☕🍰
💗 From blankets to belonging — that's what VIEW is all about.
Keep an eye out for our next workshop… you might just discover a new hobby AND a new group of friends! 🧶🥰
June 2026 Meeting Part 1
Our June Dinner shone a spotlight on four new members. A Pen Portrait by Tracy and a Q & A session for Julie, Jacqui & Leonie.
Pen Portrait-
Tracy has known about VIEW from her mother's membership with Mollymook VIEW Club. Outside of VIEW, Tracy has been involved with the Cubs and Scouting for the least 35 years. As a qualified AUS Swim teacher and Lifeguard, she obtained a job at the Ulladulla Leisure Centre where she worked in various positions until recently, whereby after 29 years she made the decision to resign and is now taking some well-deserved time off until she decides on a new career path.
Q&A -
As Julie, Jacqui and Leonie all work together in the local Post Office and joined VIEW at the same time, a set of three group questions were asked from the members of the floor.
" What is your favourite way to spend a weekend?"
"What is a fun fact or a hidden talent that people don't know about you?"
"You obviously share a sound friendship. What do you think makes a good friendship?"
All ladies gave us insightful, funny and considerate answers.

June 2026 Meeting Part 2
Club President, Bev presented Member badges and Welcome Booklets to new members Janet and Chris. Interesting story, Chris was a past member with Ulladulla Evening VIEW and held positions on the Committee. She resigned her membership a few years ago to pursue other interests but rejoined the Club in 2026.
After many years on the Committee, Enid has stepped down as 2026 Vice President but she will remain a integral part of the Club.
Cheryl accepted the nomination for Vice President with Club President presenting Cheryl with her Vice President's badge.
Thank you to Enid for your many years of service to VIEW and to the many roles you have held on the Club Committee. Congratulations to Cheryl for taking on her first Committee with Ulladulla Evening VIEW Club.

Ulladulla Evening On Show in 2026
Members of our club attended the Milton Show, being our local regional show, in March to promote VIEW and our Club.
Over two days on March 5th & 6th, our Club participated for the first time at the annual Milton Show, Milton NSW by having a stall and showcasing the Club. Members volunteered their time to talk to the public and bring awareness of the good work VIEW Clubs do in partnership with The Smith Family.
Janelle, in her capacity as Zone Councillor and the Club's Publicity officer alongside the other members enjoyed getting out in the community to promote VIEW and the friendships you make along the way with other women.
