Brendale Evening VIEW Club

The sun was shinning for the many members of our Club as they came along to the Strathpine Park for a social day out.

Members bought along a plate to share to add to their tea and coffee, and as the morning warmed up it was time for the games. The Bean bag Toss was a tie with Helen Z. and Helen H. in one team and Suzanne W. It was then time for the thong throw, and the ladies tried their hardest to beat the other, however it was decided that Christine V. was the winner.

A fun day had by all. 

As the month of July came to a close the members and their family and friends came together at the Aspley Hornets Football Club to enjoy a fundraising afternoon of Fashion, a Cent Auction and a delicious afternoon tea.

This annual Fashion fundraising event was run by a very organised and extremely hardworking group. The event which was a day of food, fashion and fun, kicked off from the moment the members and guests came through the doors of the venue.

The weather was cold out side but it did not stop members from coming out.

It was beanies and scarves and warm smiles to the rescue as members turned up for the dinner meeting at Aspley Hornets Football Club. There was many a comment about each others interesting beanies and of course there was the matching colour themes. After all the admiration of winter warmers we then joined in for an evening of laughter and catching up with friends. 

Agatha P and Nancy L have been friends for many years so it was only fitting that they decided to make a social event meaningful.

At the recent dinner meeting you could not get a better gathering of Members on such a cold night. The room was a buzz with the Members catching up with and exchanging their past weeks many stories. Our hostess for the night Nancy came to the rescue as she ushered us to our seats so that the night could begin.

With the Members settled our National Councillor Lyall, stepped forward to give us a power point insight into the explanation of VIEW.

It was all hands on deck for Members as they put on their VIEW aprons and smiles to volunteer for what was a very successful fundraising day in June.

At the May dinner meeting our Club recognised Volunteer Week with the presentation of badges to four new members. It was a very proud moment as the new members’, Kerry L, Sue G, Mandy A, Vickie S, were presented and congratulated by the National Councillor Lyall. The new members were given a round of applause of encouragement as they start this new commitment and journey as a volunteer to sponsor our 9 students.

At the April dinner meeting the members came donned with their bunny ears and they also bought loads of chocolate delights along to fill many Easter hampers. The hampers were then made ready to be raffled off after dessert. By the end of night there were many happy Ladies with smiles on their faces. Easter hampers were not only the highlight for the evening as our guest speaker Amanda Harvey from Q Rail enlightened us all about the benefits of making their next holiday a Q Rail adventure. 

 

 

In Recognition of International Womens Day many of our Members came to be inspired,and to welcome Guest Speaker Donna Field.

Donna is a Journalist with ABC and is Head of Regional News. Donna came along to our March dinner meeting with her mother Marylyn, who is a Member of VIEW, as can be seen in the accompanying photo.

Our Club's 26th birthday celebration Dinner Meeting with past Presidents, was a great success.

Every first Saturday of the month our Member's gather  for the monthly Morning Tea at Bracken Ridge. Fran W. decided to get on her electric bike to attend this event.

Members of Brendale Evening VIEW gathered together to start the new year off with a coffee and a chat at the Bracken Ridge Hotel. Many holiday stories were exchanged.

Fran W. came along all set to start the new year off in style on her electric bike and all geared up in slip, slop mode. Well done Fran.
