Here it is January 2025, one quarter of a century since the Millennium! Have you set goals for 2025 yet? Why not make one of them to Join Probus this year!
Probus is a Club for Active Retirees, founded by Rotary for their members as they moved on in age. Because the new Club was intended for Retirees, whether Rotary Members or not, it was given a new name, Probus.
The Motto of all Probus Clubs is, ‘Fun, Friendship and Fellowship’. This is what we do our best to live up to. What do we do? Once a month we have a General Meeting to keep members informed of business activities. This meeting features a Guest Speaker, to speak on a wide range of subjects to keep us informed and interested in the world around us. Once a month there is an Outing, to an Activity or Place of interest in the area.
What do we NOT do? Probus is not a fund- raising Organisation. It is not Political and is non-Secular.
We are a friendly, happy group, served by an elected Committee which meets a week before the General Meeting. Elections for this group, as well as for Official positions in the Club take place in March. Fortunately, there is a Probus Club in Glasshouse Mountains. Meetings are every second Wednesday of the month in the Glasshouse R.S.L. at 10.00am.
