A Message from President Arie Markvoort

Musings from the President !


I was looking for a quote for November

and came upon this one by Turkish

playright Mehmet Murat Ildan.

“There is October in every November

and there is November in every

December. All seasons melted in each

other’s life.”


Thanksgiving is behind us,

Remembrance day is ahead, and we are

talking about winter already. Now if we

could only remember where we put the

ice scraper last spring.


I will have more thoughts to share with you next week at our monthly meeting.

I leave you with this quote, by American naturalist Edwin Way Teale.


“How sad would be November if we had no knowledge of the spring.”


Arie

Special Events

Christmas Social Plans:

Again our Christmas Social meal will occur at the Legion after our regular General Meeting on Tuesday, December 9th. The start time for the December meeting will be at 11:00am and guests are invited to attend for the meeting portion of the day. 

The meal serving will start after 12:00 noon.

The cost will be $25.00. I would prefer cheques now as cash involves a receipt being issued. Your cancelled cheque will serve as your receipt. There will be a sign-up list, and payment can be made at the November meeting.


 I ask that you make your reservation for a seat for the meal now and if your plans change, let

me know as early as possible. 

Our Speakers

 Our “Keynote Speaker” for November was Alexander Innes speaking on Green  energy and the use of battery storage to support our electricity grid. 


 Our December Christmas Luncheon Speaker will be Dr. Grace Carbilledo Vincent, who was recently awarded the King Charles Coronation Medal for her  life of service, talent and global impact, who will speak on her journey to  become the triple winner of the ““Mrs. Global World”, “Mrs. Queen of Hearts  and “Mrs. Best Talented” titles at the 2024 Dubai World Pageant, in recognition  of her talent, speaking, stage presence, community service and advocacy to  help others 

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.

   

We would like to get more member participation in the content of the newsletter. 


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! 


Please email your contributions to
