THOSE members who attended the lunch/Birthday bash last week were privileged to witness a Probus Club working at its best.
The occasion was catered by two of our members, whose boundless energy prepared both the venue and the food.
This fabulous duo quietly got on with the job with smiles and clockwork precision. Any of the 26, or was it 27, attendees will vouch for the quality and quantity of the meal.
The weather was cooler than expected, and with a little help from electric fans, there was no fear of heat exhaustion.
The demonstration of Probus in action came about in response to an invitation to lunch at a private venue. Those who participated brought their own chairs and cups and dined in the garage.
The most wonderful part of the day was the interaction of all members, who moved from group to group to share news and views of families, local area, and the way of the wider world, wheelie walkers notwithstanding.
Probus is meant to get members out of their homes to gather in the company of others, newly retired, or newly come to the area, and naturally a mix of ages.
This day will go down in our club history as memorable for energy, co-operation, smiles and sociability of all present. It was amazing how the non-talkers found a voice.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on March 8 at 10am at the Glasshouse R.S.L – what a time to join Probus. If you are interested, call Norma on 5439 0446 or Dagmar on 0402 076 410.
