        Anne-Louise O’Connor, National President

                    Dear VIEW members and friends,

I warmly invite you to attend our VIEW National Convention 2021! Convention
is a wonderful opportunity to catch up with VIEW friends from all over
Australia and meet new ones, to hear from a stellar line-up of notable
Australians and have loads of FUN!
Convention Days 1 and 2 along with Gala Dinner will be held at the award
winning Adelaide Convention Centre, conveniently located in the heart of
Adelaide’s CBD which has plenty of excellent accommodation to choose from
and transport options including trams.
Attending Conference Days 1 and 2 is a great opportunity to celebrate VIEW
Clubs’ success, learn about national contributions, hear the latest updates
from The Smith Family and debate issues of national concern. The popular
“Writer’s Festival” session on Conference Day 2 will return and feature well
known authors, and be facilitated by an entertaining personality.
As our plans to celebrate VIEW’s Diamond Jubilee were curtailed in 2020 due
to COVID-19 restrictions, we will be incorporating some acknowledgement of
our momentous milestone, VIEW’s special 60 + 1 Anniversary. Absorb the
atmosphere at one of the themed social dinners, dress up and be ready to
dance to your favourite beats.
Enjoy an elegant evening at our Gala Dinner with an impressive line up of
entertainment and fantastic food commencing with a glass of bubbles! Raffle
prizes will be drawn during this evening. Everyone has a chance to take home a
valuable prize.
The Community Grand Celebration, the finale of our Convention, is a special
time for reflection with VIEW friends and members of the local community.
I encourage you, and your friends, to be part of these exciting events and
book your tickets early to avoid disappointment – bookings will open on
Monday 2 November 2020.
Come to cosmopolitan Adelaide, which is rich in arts and culture and easily
accessible. Enjoy the relaxed small town charm in this diverse city.
It is definitely worth a visit, and I look forward to seeing you in South Australia!
