Holdfast Evening VIEW Club
About
Holdfast Evening VIEW Club celebrated its 10th Birthday in October 2018. We are a friendly Club of 50 members who meet monthly for dinner, with an interesting guest speaker.
We are immensely proud of the eight students we sponsor with The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, especially the student we have sponsored for 10 years. She has graduated this year from University, and we are thrilled for her. We supported this tertiary student from her Primary School years through to her final year of nursing.
We hold monthly coffee mornings for members who can make it, and organise outings bimonthly.
During COVID 19 Lockdowns, we have actively supporting our members through telephone trees and newsletters, and we have continued to donate generously to support our students. Some members have been creative making items to raise funds, and have made reading mats and bags for the Learning for Life programs. This year we held a cocktail function to raise the funds to purchase a notebook computer, for use by families in Learning for Life Programs.
We always welcome visitors and new members, so please visit us, enjoy our company, and support the education of disadvantaged Australian students.

South Australia Gala
Our twice postponed 2020 S.A. Gala was finally held last January, at Morphettville Racecourse, with a Cup Day theme. We had a race call and purchased our bets, winning cash prizes for places in the race. Being our first major VIEW event since Covid lockdowns, it was a great day of fun and catching up with our VIEW friends.

Successful Movie Afternoon in November 2020
Despite COVID 19 forcing the cancellation of our June Movie Afternoon, we were able to hold this in November, with restricted seating across two theatres for 128 guests. We enjoyed the new release Radioactive, and were delighted to raise over $2000 to help fund most of our students scholarships through to 2023. Our Program officers Margie and Athalie endured many anxious negotiations to achieve this.
