The day began with a General Meeting followed by lunch amid much chatter as members caught up after the break.
Outgoing President VIvien Webeck gave her report, thanking members and the outgoing committee for a successful 2023.
A presentation was made to those members who had achieved 100 per cent attendance over the past year while January and February birthdays were celebrated.
A welcome was extended to two new members, Sandra Clarke and Lidia Sorensen. Sandra delivered a short report of her experience as a foster parent under The Smith Family program.
The Annual General Meeting was held after lunch, chaired by Judy Earle, filling in for absent VIEW councillors. All procedures were followed, including asking for nominations from the floor before the 2024 Committee was elected.
Under the umbrella of The Smith Family, over 300 VIEW (Voice, Interests, Education of Women) Clubs support disadvantaged Australian children while fostering ongoing friendships with like-minded women.
