The Altona Day View Club is calling out to Hobsons Bay ladies to join the growing club.

The 53 women meet monthly to run through upcoming events and host a variety of speakers.

The 24-year-old club is affiliated with The Smith Family , whose goal is to create opportunities for disadvantaged Australian children.

Club president Jessie Rayner said the View Club hosts a number of events and fundraisers throughout the year, all profits go towards the children they sponsor.

“The funds go directly to the six students we currently sponsor through the learning for life program,” she said.

“The View Club is The Smith Family’s largest community sponsor, together the 2940 Victorian members sponsor 378 students.”

Club secretary Julie Cummings said members can expect to discuss matters of the club, listen to a guest speaker and enjoy lunch and refreshments at the monthly meetings.

In addition to meetings, throughout the year the View Club goes out for luncheons and other outings , last month the ladies went on a bus trip to Mount Macedon.

The View Club is hosting one of their four fundraisers next week, a fashion show with Cliche Fashion.

The View Club meets at the Altona R.S.L on the third Wednesday of each month at 11am.
