A Message from President Arie Markvoort

Here we are in May and spring has sprung. The grass is growing and the garden centres are open. My favorite shopping.

This got me thinking about time and I found this quote. “Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend”.

Having heard from some during our meetings I am amazed how well you are all spending your time and I like to hear more during “Who am I” time or in casual conversations. I hope to see you all on Tuesday.

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!

The Lighter Side Of Life

  • Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today, I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look.
  • I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.
  • When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat" I just say, "No, it's for company!"
  • Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance."
  • The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
  • The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
  • Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
  • Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me.
  • I want people to know why I look this way.
  • I've traveled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved.
  • Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.
  • Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.
  • May you always have:
  • Love to share,
  • Cash to spare,
  • Tires with air,
  • And friends who care !!!
