We had a friendly gathering this month (April 2nd) and it was great to see so many of our members and we hope you all enjoyed the day with us!
Get well wishes are sent to our members who have not been in the best of health, and when they recover, we look forward to seeing you back at a Luncheon or Social Day!
We have welcomed six new members so far this year, and we hope they feel at home here with us and enjoy all our activities.
Our guest speaker for today’s meeting was Nicole Warren from Australian Unity, who provide home care and disability services in Goulburn, Eden, Cooma, Canberra, Queanbeyan, Young, Harden, and Boorowa.
It focuses on tailored care for seniors under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and Support at Home programme and her presentation was enjoyed by all.
Lucky Door prizes were won by Del Nelson, Margaret Stewart, Pam Denning, Brenda Writer, Margaret Thompson, and Helen Scott.
The lucky programme was won today by Brenda Writer.
The Lucky Number was won by Jenny Sullivan, and raffles were won by Jenni Aubrey, Lea Laidler and Margaret Thompson.
Birthdays were celebrated by Margaret Walcott and Jenny Sullivan, best wishes for your birthdays from all at Goulburn Day View and congratulations to all!
We also hosted an Easter Bonnet competition, and the winners were ‘Cheapest Bonnet’ – Joycelyn Cooper; ‘Traditional Bonnet’ – Jane Booth; and ‘Funniest Bonnet’ – Geraldine Hunt.
The highlight of our March social day was to have Dot McCabe attend.
Dot is over 100 years old, and our oldest Club member.
It was great to catch up with Dot, as she cannot always get to luncheons due to transport issues.
VIEW stands for the Voice, Interests and Education of Women.
VIEW is a national women’s organisation and support network, bringing women together in local communities to enjoy social activities, develop skills, make connections, and participate in networking events while supporting and advocating for the education of young Australians in need.
VIEW’s 13,000 members share the common purpose of exclusively supporting national children’s education charity, The Smith Family.
Founded by The Smith Family in 1960, VIEW women are empowered by the positive difference they make to the lives of Australian children and young people experiencing disadvantage.
For over 100 years, The Smith Family has been working to improve the lives of children experiencing poverty.
For 65 years VIEW has connected with others in the community, enabling The Smith Family to reach more families in need.
VIEW is all about friendship as well as supporting our Learning for Life students, so if you have a friend who you think may like to come along and have lunch with us, please bring them along to one of our Luncheon meetings or Social Days!
Our next social day will be tomorrow, (Thursday 16th April) at Home 98 at the Posthouse Restaurant, 1 Lagoon Street, Goulburn at 12 noon for a 12.30pm start.
If you have put your name down to attend and are unable to do so, please let me (Margaret) know.
The next monthly meeting for Goulburn Day View Club will be on Thursday, 7th May, and if you wish to join them, please contact Margaret Gooch on (02) 4822 1859 or 0409 904 917 before 7 pm on Monday 4th May.
