View to learning SINCE it started in 2019, the Southern Peninsula VIEW Club has grown from 35 to 84 members. The club’s sponsorship of students through its Learning for Life program - its core money-raising activity - has increased from two to nine students, ranging from prep through to VCE. Club president Mandy Kiklis said the club believed that helping disadvantaged children succeed at school could have a lasting impact on their lives and potential generations to come. Currently, VIEW clubs across Australia sponsor more than 1680 students. VOICE Interests Education of Women (VIEW) is a network of about 300 clubs and more than 1400 women throughout Australia. The organisation provides a place for women to connect in the community, enjoy social activities and develop lasting friendships while supporting the work of the children’s charity The Smith Family. The Smith Family is the largest community sponsor of the Learning for Life program that provides students with financial, educational and personal support. The peninsula VIEW club has also donated to special appeals by the Smith Family. “Joining a VIEW club is an excellent way to both support a great charity and also to develop friendships along the way,” Kiklis said. The Southern Peninsula VIEW Club meets on the morning of the second Thursday of the month followed by a lunch option. In 2024 members will be meeting at Eagle Ridge Golf Club , Browns Road, Boneo.

Trust set to auction donated pieces THE National Trust’s Mornington Peninsula branch is holding an auction on Sunday 3 December of paintings, drawings and prints donated by branch members and friends. Branch president Victor Sullivan said a chance remark during a gathering of members inspired the “unique fundraising idea”. “Conversation between colleagues drifted to the topic of what happens after downsizing when people retain some or even all of their much-loved art collections, but do not have wall space to hang items,” he said. “An appeal to members and friends has been hugely successful and we have gathered excellent
examples of art for the auction.” He said the branch, formed in 1985, “works tirelessly to raise funds to support the ongoing restoration and conservation of its heritage properties and collections”. The National Trust has four properties in the region – McCrae Homestead (1843), The Briars Homestead at Mount Martha (1854), Mulberry Hill at Langwarrin South (1880 and Desbrowe Annear’s 1926 extension) and Endeavour Fern Gully at Red Hill (a remnant of indigenous bush that reopened to the public in 2011). Artwork to be auctioned will include pastoral scenery, environmental influences, and contempo-
rary and old master interpretations in oils, acrylics and pencil. “Something for everyone’s taste,” Sullivan said. “There will also be a small range of art books and historical journals on sale (not auctioned) and a door prize of a pure silk Moet & Chandon women’s shoulder scarf in its original box.” The National Trust Mornington Peninsula branch Pre-loved Art Auction, Sunday 3 December, Peninsula Community Theatre, 91 Wilsons Road, Mornington. Works will be on display from 11am for the auction at 2.30pm. Details from secretary Judy Walsh on 0407 099 855 or email jwa45664@ gmail.com
