Newsletters 2025

A Message from President Arie Markvoort

Yesterday was July 1, known to us as Canada Day. I spent a few hours listening to music and enjoyed the children’s corner with my grandchildren. There were thousands of people who now call Canada home and went to the park to be together. Over the years many people from different nations have come to this country and yesterday people came wearing Canadian attire and carrying little flags We live in a great and beautiful country. I hope you all enjoy summer and our country.

One note: Our fiscal year ends in July so our dues are due in August. Please bring a check to our August meeting. I hope to see you all next week.

A Message from The Speakers Committee

Our Probus club continues looking for more members who want to share their Life Stories with everyone - because interesting speakers help to entertain and enlighten their friends - and also attract new members! It is easier than you think, and can be a lot of fun!!!

- Do you have a story about a fascinating project, or place you visited when you were working?

- Did you enjoy a super holiday experience somewhere (in the last 15 years) - that others would like to hear about?

- Do you have a weird or wonderful hobby that keeps you feeling young.

*** Contact Phil Thorne to volunteer for our ***

*** Spring Speaker Challenge ***

We "Double-Dog- Dare you" to step up to the mike and make some new friends! Help is available for showing photos, etc.

Sharing items of personal involvement that might also be of interest to other club members is encouraged.

Jokes for “The Lighter Side of Life” are also solicited!

The Lighter Side Of Life

Bob, a 65-year-old millionaire widower, walks into the country club arm-in-arm with a jaw-dropping 25-year-old blonde. She’s radiant, graceful, glowing, and clinging to him like he’s George Clooney with stock tips.
Everyone at the club turns to stare. His buddies are stunned.
One of them pulls him aside and says, “Bob… how on earth did you manage to get someone like her?” Bob flashes a grin.
“Get her? She’s not my girlfriend—she’s my wife.”
Mouths drop. Another friend blurts out, “Seriously? How’d you convince her to marry you?”
Bob leans in, lowers his voice, and smirks. “I lied about my age.”
His friend nods, “Ahh, told her you were 50?” Bob laughs.
“Nope. I told her I was 90.”
