💗🤍 PINK, PEARLS & PLENTY OF GLAMOUR! 🤍💗

What a fabulous day we had celebrating Whittlesea VIEW Club’s 3rd Birthday!

The room was awash with gorgeous shades of pink, beautiful pearls and plenty of glamour. Our lovely ladies certainly rose to the occasion, with everyone making such an effort to dress up. We were quite the glamorous bunch! 💕

There was fun and games, lots of laughter, wonderful company, delicious food and a gorgeous birthday cake made by Thelma Cardwell.

Congratulations to all our lucky prize winners who went home with one of our beautifully wrapped surprises. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success. We couldn’t have done it without you.

And what a wonderful result! Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we raised over $500 for The Smith Family. A fantastic effort, ladies. Give yourselves a very big clap! 👏

A VERY big thank you to our wonderful Sue, Marilyn and Glynis, who once again put so much time, effort and creativity into organising such a fantastic day. Your attention to detail, from the decorations to creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, was simply wonderful. Well done, ladies! We truly appreciate all your hard work. Also a big thank you to Jean, our resident photographer, for all the great photos. 🩷

And a little side note about the photos…there were so many gorgeous and enthusiastic ladies, choosing just a few photos was practically impossible! We all looked so fabulous that I simply couldn’t decide. So please forgive the photo overload — you can never have too much pink, pearls or a little bit of glamour! 😂💗

What a wonderful way to celebrate three years together. Here’s to many more! 🥂

Someone clearly got the Arts Centre dress-code memo! 😂💚🤍

Sue matched the décor perfectly — green top, cream pants and even a cream chair! Meanwhile, the rest of us clearly missed the memo! 🤣

The sun was shining on 21 of our lovely ladies when we gathered at Mernda Station at 8.30am last Thursday. ☀️

The trip into the city was filled with plenty of chatter, which I think may have frightened a few of our fellow travellers into moving to another carriage! 😂

We were heading into the city for a tour of the Arts Centre, followed by lunch at Young & Jackson’s.

The tour was fantastic! 👏🏻 Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and we learnt so much about one of Melbourne’s iconic venues.

We spent time relaxing in the plush seats of Hamer Hall, which has the most incredible acoustics you could imagine. We also had the opportunity to go deep underground into the Truscott Lounge, where we were able to sit in the same chairs that Prince Charles and Princess Diana sat in during their visit.

We were particularly intrigued by the royal blue toilet that had been built especially for Diana, apparently, she was too embarrassed to use it! 👑🚽

We then wandered down to the hotel for lunch, which, once again, everyone enjoyed, before heading back home on the train.

It was another fantastic day out! Thanks so much to Glynis & Sue for organising such a great day. 🤩🥳

We had a fantastic turnout for our recent Whittlesea VIEW Club meeting, with 51 members and 9 visitors joining us in our meeting room for a very interesting and informative talk from Amanda, a Principal Solicitor from our local area.

She spoke about Wills, Powers of Attorney, Executors and many other important legal matters surrounding the making of a Will. There was plenty of discussion and lots of questions from our members, with quite a few of us learning things we weren’t aware of. Amanda has kindly agreed to come back for a Part 2 because our members had so many questions!

We were thrilled that 6 of our visitors decided to join our fabulous Whittlesea VIEW Club! 👏🏻🎉

An incredible 45 members stayed on for lunch, and for the first time, the Whittlesea Bowls Club offered us the use of the meeting room to enjoy our lunch. It was so convenient and gave us the opportunity to move around a bit more, chat amongst ourselves and enjoy each other’s company.

It was a great day had by all! A big thank you to our guest speaker for sharing her knowledge with us, and to everyone who helped make the day so enjoyable! 🪷🥰

🌸 What an incredible Women’s Health Week! 🌸

What an absolutely wonderful morning we had at Whittlesea VIEW Club’s Women’s Health Week event on Wednesday, with around 60 women joining us for a morning filled with valuable health information, expert advice, connection and plenty of conversation.

We were incredibly fortunate to have six wonderful local health professionals share their knowledge with us:

👩‍⚕️ Doctors from Whittlesea Medical Clinic
🧘‍♀️ Whittlesea Physiotherapists
🦷 Whittlesea Family Dental
🦶 Whittlesea Foot & Ankle Clinic
🌿 Back to Life Remedial Therapies
⚕️Blood pressure checks - Whittlesea Pharmacy

And throughout the morning, the amazing Lauren from Whittlesea Amcal Pharmacy was offering free blood pressure checks, which was a wonderful addition to the day.

The morning was a true team effort from our Whittlesea VIEW Club, and we couldn’t be more proud of how beautifully everything came together. There was so much fantastic information shared, and one of the highlights was seeing so many women stay afterwards to speak personally with the professionals, ask questions and follow up on something they’d heard during the morning.

A very special thank you to Julie, our VIEW Club President, who did a fabulous job as MC, keeping everything flowing and making sure the morning ran so smoothly.

A huge thank you also to Whittlesea Bowls Club for their continued support and to the City of Whittlesea for supporting this special community event.

The feedback from the women who attended was very positive, with so many commenting on how informative, welcoming and beautifully organised the morning was.

What a fantastic achievement for Whittlesea VIEW Club! 👏🏻
A morning of women supporting women, sharing knowledge and looking after our health together.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a memorable morning. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing team, our interesting speakers and, most importantly, the women who came along and made the morning so special. 💕

Together, supporting women in our community. 💜

⭐️A Wonderful Theatre Outing! ⭐️
We were delighted to enjoy another wonderful theatre outing, this time to see Crimes of the Heart, set in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. The play follows three eccentric sisters who are brought back together under one roof, each carrying their own history, heartache and secrets.

It was a funny, touching and deeply human story, exploring shared trauma, fierce sisterly love, family relationships and the awkward process of healing. There were plenty of laughs along the way, mixed with some very moving and heartfelt moments.

We thoroughly enjoyed the play and once again appreciated the beautiful theatre and the lovely atmosphere it provided for our evening.

As always, we also enjoyed a delicious dinner beforehand at the Sir Henry Barkly Hotel, which was the perfect way to begin the evening. Good food, great company and an entertaining play made for another very enjoyable outing.

It's wonderful to see these theatre evenings continuing to grow in popularity, and we look forward to sharing many more memorable nights together! 😍🎉🤩

On 23 July, 22 ladies enjoyed a wonderful outing to Forget Me Not Café. We had a fantastic meal, great company, and plenty of lively conversation. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, and the service was excellent.
After lunch, many of the ladies purchased plants and enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the nursery. 🪴🪻
It was a delightful day, and everyone had a wonderful time.
These outings continue to be a great way to enjoy good food, friendship, and fun together. 🤩🎉

Today, we were privileged to hear from one of our own Whittlesea VIEW Club members, Emma, a former Smith Family Learning for Life student whose inspiring journey is a powerful reminder of the difference that education, support, opportunity and determination can make.
Emma shared how, despite growing up in government housing with very little money and facing many challenges, the support she received through The Smith Family helped open doors that changed the course of her life. Now working as a lawyer for Legal Aide supporting children and women experiencing family violence and poverty, she spoke passionately about the impact of child poverty and the importance of giving every child the chance to succeed.
Her message was one of resilience, hope and gratitude, reminding us that every scholarship, every opportunity and every act of generosity can help change a life. Thank you, Emma, for sharing your remarkable story with us. 👏🏻🤩🥰
