Vivian Davidson has been a member of VIEW for 25 years and of the Noosaville VIEW Club for 11 years.
She has just turned 90 and decided to hand over the president’s role but will continue to be an active member.
Her particular interest recently has been communicating with the 10 Learning for Life students sponsored by the local club.
At the annual general meeting in February, new president, Wendy Brooks was elected.
Noosaville VIEW Club is on the lookout for new members who want to give back to their community and make connections with women in the area.
Ms Davidson, said this year was the perfect time to join VIEW.
“The last two years have been so disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic,“ she said.
“Many of us have missed out on seeing friends and family, and our club has been like a second family for us during these times.
Many people have also moved away from the city to the regions and coming to a new place can be isolating – especially given the current circumstances.
“For those who are new to the area, VIEW provides the perfect place to meet like-minded women, while doing something that makes a difference.“
VIEW, which stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women, is a network of close to 300 clubs and over 14,000 women throughout Australia. It provides a place for women to connect in the community, enjoy social activities, and develop lasting friendships – all while supporting the work of children’s education charity, The Smith Family.
Noosaville VIEW Club meets every fourth Thursday of the month at the Tewantin RSL. Some of the recent guest speakers include Sandy Bolton and Tony Wellington.
The club hosts social events including lunches and river cruises and also joins in celebrations with other VIEW Clubs in the Zone such as Maroochydore and Bribie Island.
