Buderim VIEW Club

'Making a Difference' Awards

Jenny Jackson 

Jenny's philosophy, dedication and passion for opportunity to assist students in their endeavour to gain a sound education mirrors the VIEW guiding principles. Jenny has held many committee positions including president twice.

As president during the initial outbreak of the pandemic, she led our devoted committee to maintain full membership and student sponsorships.

For several months we met unofficially in the park, continued a monthly newsletter, emailed/phoned members who were temporarily isolated and made house calls, be it just to the front door, to wish members a happy birthday.

Jenny is always available to step up when a committee member is absent to keep our club running smoothly. Jenny states, ‘I am especially proud of Buderim View Club, what we represent and the warm generosity of our members.’

April 2022 Visit to GOMA

Following the Easter break, 30 members travelled to Brisbane by coach to GOMA to see the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art exhibition, a wonderful display of Asian crafts: some extremely large exhibits indeed and intricate lacework too. It was a most successful day nicely rounded off with a talk from Henri Van Noordenburg, one of the curators at the gallery, who told us about the history of APT (Australia Pacific Triennial) and explained how the exhibits are selected from all over the Pacific region, then transported here and displayed in the galleries. We feel privileged that Brisbane was the only Australian city to host this display.
