Local group hopes to re

Cobar VIEW Club meeting last Tuesday at the Empire Hotel attracted 15 ladies eager to re spirit of VIEW, which is the Voice, Interests and Education of Women.

VIEW does this within the community while also supporting the work of the Smith Family charity’s Learning for Life student program.

Cobar Tourism Officer Demi Smith was invited to chair the election which resulted in the return of the previous committee with Enid English as president, Kate Winders (vice president and zone delegate), Lillian Simpson (treasurer) and Bev Anderson (secretary and publicity officer). The program officer will be covered by the committee with valued input from all members.

Mrs Anderson said decreasing membership is an ongoing problem within many volunteer groups and the Cobar club is keen to invite women, whether local or new to Cobar, to attend a meeting and discover what VIEW is all about.

“This year four disadvantaged students and their families will be supported with educational needs by our fundraising efforts and as a group we look forward to guest speakers, fundraising, special outings and events, monthly lunches and friendly interaction in a supportive environment, contributed

The Cobar VIEW Club’s executive line up for the new year remains unchanged after the group ’s annual general meeting last week with Kate Winders retaining the role of zone delegate and vice president; Lillian Simpson was returned as treasurer, Enid English as president and Bev Anderson will continue in the role of secretary/publicity officer.
