Mosman VIEW Club ready to sponsor a LFL child

The new Mosman VIEW Club members are enjoying being involved in this women's volunteer organisation.

Our first 2020 meeting began with great energy created by a full turn-up of members to thank our guests, Jeanette and Francie, who have patiently nurtured us through to being an independent club.
We were happy to be able to welcome some new members to our friendly group and we extend an invitation to other women who would enjoy meeting like-minded women to join us.

Various issues were raised, including the common purpose ie the Smith Family's largest community sponsor of Learning for Life students. (LFL).   VIEW supports the educational outcomes of disadvantaged children and young people in Australia.

Mosman VIEW Club is now in the exciting position of being able to go through the procedure of sponsoring a child.  We have chosen to begin by supporting a Kindergarten child in order to be able to follow his / her education outcome right from the start.



On another note, our first speaker of the year was one of our current members, Sandra Berrick. Recently back in Sydney after living with the Chinese community overseas,  Sandra gave us a fascinating overview of Chinese Artwork, how it is presented and how it differs from other artwork.  As well as a powerpoint presentation, she even brought along examples of paints and brushes.  

Thanks, Sandra - we all want to have a go at creating a beautiful image.

Tools of the trade

Next month's speaker will be Jane Eales, author of 'Secrets, Spies & Spotted Dogs'
This is a fascinating story, I believe.  Can't wait!
