Adelaide West VIEW Club
About
We are a friendly group of women who enthusiastically support activities to raise money for The Smith Family's Learning for Life program and our ten sponsored students.
Monthly lunch meetings provide an opportunity to hear interesting guest speakers and our fundraising activities include Bunnings BBQs, trading tables and raffles.
Some members put their skills to use in making items for the students such as library bags. More fun and socialising is provided through our annual bus trip, monthly morning teas and outings.
Our Club was formed in 2000 and our birthday celebrations are a highlight of the year.

Adelaide West members were among those who attended the reception and were delighted to be given the opportunity to wander through the library and other ground floor rooms of Government House.
19th Birthday Celebration
Adelaide West celebrated 19th wonderful VIEW years with the theme No business like shoe business. What a variety of shoe styles and colours were worn, including some sparkling dance shoes, as can be seen by photo opposite.
The music of the Australian Army Band’s Jazz Quartet had the members and visitors tapping their feet and soon many were up and dancing.
Local Clubs Clubbing Together

Following a talk by Adelaide West’s 2019 President, Joan Coleman, to the Kidman Park Rotary Club on the role of VIEW and The Smith Family that Club’s members were keen to support TSF with the purchase items needed by the students.
