WHITTLESEA: Probus 24th anniversary
The Combined Probus club of Whittlesea held its 24th birthday celebrations this month at the Whittlesea Bowls Club. Imediate Past President Cheryl Manicolo together with five previous mantle holders formed up to celebrate the passing of two dozen years.
Life Member Mary Wood gave a summary of the Club’s formation and the first meeting and acknowledged Past Presidents.
The table cloth that was autographed by members who attended the first meeting is always displayed at meetings.
This month it was adorned by a large birthday cake baked and decorated by Mary. Later on the cake was consumed by members at morning tea break.
Probus provides an opportunity to meet retirees in the local community. Those who are retired or semi-retired, you can join and hear speakers, attend monthly meetings where a specialist presenter is provided, and enjoy a wide range of activities.
