2021 December
Many members certainly got into the Christmas spirit as can be seen from the photos below.
Christmas Celebrations
On Wednesday 15 December 2021 Members and guests celebrated their meeting with a delicious two course Christmas lunch at the Arkaba Hotel. Members were encouraged to bring a raffle prize wrapped in Christmas paper. The table groaned under the weight of the prizes! There were enough prizes for everyone to receive one. The raffle raised the princely sum of $179.
Our Guest Speaker was Natalie from the Adelaide office of the Smith Family. Natalie looks after the tertiary Learning for Life students located in South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania. Many tertiary students have gone on to forge successful careers. Member Dorothy, herself a retired High School teacher, made a presentation and thanked Natalie for her interesting talk.

Ten Year Birthday
Fifty people attended the Unley VIEW Club’s 10th Birthday Celebration, including two VIEW National Councillors and our VIEW Zone Councillor. Many members were dressed in their vintage finery.
Eight members were presented with their Ten Year Pins and each person attending was given a condensed version of the Ten Year History of the Club compiled over the years by two of our existing members.
Andre de Laine, chef extraordinaire, (but not actually French!) brought a touch of humour to the proceedings with his stories of the trials and tribulations of what can go wrong behind the scene in restaurant kitchens.
A substantial amount of money was raised through the silent auction and raffles for the Smith Family Projects in 2021.
Ten Year Pin recipients L - R: Norma, Dorothy, Johanna, Jill, Diane, Wendy, Sue, Chris and Inaugural President Pam.
