ONE-HUNDRED guests celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Nambucca River VIEW Club on Tuesday, 26 August.
Seven VIEW clubs from across the region were represented at a glitzy event at the Nambucca Heads RSL.
The RSL auditorium reflected the event’s theme, “Hearts of Gold”, with shades of black and gold throughout and heart-shaped balloons adding to the décor.
“Each guest, many of whom wore a touch of gold, was greeted on arrival with a pin-on gold heart, some of which hid a prize token,” said the VIEW Club’s Janne Henn.
“Raffle prizes donated by local businesses added to the fun of the day and a trading table was also very popular.”
The National Vice President of VIEW, Lorraine Thomson travelled from the Gold Coast and spoke about VIEW Clubs and the work the organisation does to support education in association with The Smith Family.
Nambucca River VIEW Club President Cynthia Guyenette then read a poem, “Hearts of Gold”, which was written for the occasion by herself and Publicity Officer Janne Henn.
Large screens displayed a montage of historic photos from the club’s history, organised by Delegate Lyn McGuigan.
Lunch music was provided by Junior Jazz Band leader and teacher Adam Rodriguez and students from Nambucca Heads Christian Community School.
The 50th anniversary cake was provided by Joy, a student from Nambucca High School.
