We had a great turnout for our Christmas Lunch !
A Message from President Arie Markvoort
Let me start by wishing a Happy New Year to all Probus members.
I look forward to meeting ALL of you at our meeting next week. As the executive, we have met and put our program together for the next few months.
We have some exciting speakers coming up. I am hoping that this will be a year where ALL of us will promote Probus to our friends and other people we meet in our activities.
Our Christmas social and lunch was well received. We had about 70 people in attendance with good food and entertainment . Let’s keep supporting our club with our attendance at our special events.
Probus Canada is looking for district directors and I have more info for anyone interested in representing our district.
Until we meet on Tuesday, January 14 , keep your stick on the ice!
Arie
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 ***

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!
