New VIEW Club in Mandurah WA!

Today in Western Australia, more than 100 women come together to celebrate the inauguration of Mandurah VIEW Club, WA’s ninth VIEW Club.

It was a warm and sunny day, matched by the warmth and enthusiasm of the women in the room. Past Zone Councillor Mary Deakin did a sparkling job as MC, guiding everyone through a packed and memorable program.

VIEW National President Lorraine Thomson officially presented the Charter to Mandurah VIEW Club Co-Presidents Dee and Sara and presented committee members with their badges. The club begins its VIEW journey with an incredible 56 inaugural members.

Special guests at the function included City of Mandurah Mayor Amber Kearns, who joined the celebration to congratulate and welcome members. Speakers also included Mr Shannon Wright, Councillor and Principal of Greenfields Primary School, and Natasha Upcott, Principal of Mandurah Primary School, who both spoke about some of the challenges facing the local community.

There was a wonderful, positive energy in the room, with VIEW representatives attending from all WA clubs.

The celebration finished with a performance by Voices in Harmony, a choir of local women, followed by the drawing of the raffle.

More than $1,000 was raised on the day, what a fantastic start for Mandurah VIEW Club.

Congratulations to everyone involved!
