Welcome to the Combined Probus Club of Belrose Inc
Club President – Mike Hartnell
Greetings everyone!
No more ‘might as well waiting’ – September is here with the first breath of spring. I liked the joke printed in the Bilgola Plateau Probus newsletter of a billboard outside a nursery saying ‘Spring is here. I am so excited, I wet my plants’.
In the biblical book of Genesis it tells us that there were four people who lived for over 900 years! Imagine that! And they didn’t even have Probus clubs then, so I have no idea how they got their group bookings at Glen St Theatre. Lucky we have Warwick!
A few days ago we had a Probus Cluster 11 meeting. Representatives of several local Probus clubs got together to share ideas and experiences. We all were encouraged to nominate our best three speakers in the last 6 months and to describe our best three outings. In a week or so the convenor will produce lists of all the best speakers and outings, and we will ‘Cherry’ pick the best ones for our club. There are some really interesting speakers on the list and it is great to learn from other club’s successes, as they learn from us.
Enjoy the lunch at Doyle’s at Watson’s Bay? Good, there are more on the way. Check out Megan’s social report later in the newsletter. Yum, yum, Christmas is yumming.
We had a New Members morning tea at Taste Buds during the month. New members were able to meet other new members as well as Committee members, so they all have now at least 10 friends in the club. A good way to welcome them.
When you see a new member or a visitor at our General meetings, don’t forget to say Hi and to welcome them – it will make it so much nicer for them.
Well, once again lots of activities planned for your enjoyment. Check the calendars later in this issue. It is a good time to join in, participate and enjoy.
On a sad note we lost Kathleen Chesterton after a short illness. We send our sincere condolences to Kathleen’s family and friends.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
Mike
Thought for the month:
While politicians and leaders talk propaganda many innocent people are suffering and dying. Please spare a kind and compassionate thought for them.
