Timboon Probus Club Notes
MEMBERS of the Timboon & District Probus Club thoroughly enjoyed their special day recently to celebrate “40 Years of Probus” with blue and yellow balloons, serviettes, chocolates and appropriate colours in clothing and head gear.
Members and guests totalling 55 met at Berry World Timboon where president Charles Martin welcomed all and started proceedings with our Probus Song.
Three new members, Marlene Van Nieuwkerk, Elaine Bowen and Val Powell, were inducted and welcomed into the club.
Corangamite Shire mayor Kate Makin then spoke on the advantage and highlights of being part of the Probus club, its friendships, trips and activities.
Her mother-in-law is a Probus member in another club and she told Kate, in very glowing terms, of her time in her Echuca club.
We enjoyed a morning tea of fresh scones, jam and cream and were entertained by the Camperdown Community Band, who had us all singing along to some of the old-time songs.
General business then with arrangements being made for our ‘Melbourne Cup’ meeting in November, with special hats for the ladies (and the men too) and also December Xmas meeting with a dinner and our favourite entertainer Joe Musico.
We then had some more music before the band joined us for our special lunch.
Berry World gave us a delicious meal of different varieties of Asian food and then general fellowship and talk continued for some time.
