Community Recognition Statement

Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields) (17:02): I congratulate my local Ingleburn VIEW Club on its fiftieth anniversary. VIEW stands for Voices, Interests and Education of Women. The women of VIEW have made and continue to make a big difference to disadvantaged children in my local community. Through their hard work and generous donations, the Ingleburn VIEW Club supports a number of local children with their education, which undoubtedly helps those kids have better futures. In partnership with the Smith Family and through their Learning for Life program, Ingleburn VIEW Club has touched many lives and has helped many aspiring disadvantaged kids achieve great things. In addition to their charitable work, the VIEW Club is also a network of friendship with social and community activities for many local women. They share their life experiences, do community work and have lots of fun. I acknowledge President Patricia Rafferty, her executive team, and all members of the VIEW Club for organising the club's fiftieth celebrations. I also acknowledge their ongoing commitment to helping our local kids achieve their aspirations and to recognise the benefits of volunteering.
