The gathering took place at the Empire function room which featured a burst of club coloured balloons, serviettes and the VIEW banner on display.

VIEW is a national volunteer organization providing opportunities for women to meet regularly, establish lasting friendships and help disadvantaged Australian children through supporting the Smith Family Charities.

To have been actively involved in this partnership for 40 years is indeed an impressive milestone and the Cobar VIEW Club acknowledges the ongoing support of the local community in this venture.

Membership pins were presented to Kate Winders (a founding member) for her 40 years, Dora Difilippo, 30 years and Barbara Bartlett, 20 years.

Nell Merritt and Kaye Saddler pins will be forwarded to them.
