Grafton Senior Citizens Club AGM
Grafton VIEW Club
A jovial time was had by the Grafton VIEW Club at the Whitehouse in Prince Street with a decadent morning tea.

Helen Smith, Helen Cashel & Norma Melino celebrate St Patrick’s Day with Grafton VIEW Club.
VIEW is on the lookout for women whose New Year resolution is to improve their social life and give back to the community. No, it is not a camera club! VIEW stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women.
It offers a network for women of all ages to connect with the community, to enjoy social activities, develop lasting friendships & at the same time provide long term educational support for Australian children in need.
The next Grafton VIEW Club meeting will be held on Tuesday 23rd March at the Grafton District Services Club Mary Street, commencing at 10.30am. So, do come along and enjoy friendship, a yummy luncheon and an interesting guest speaker.
Please phone Vorna at 66424719 for catering purposes no later than the Friday before the meeting.
See you there!
