“For the first time ever, we have succeeded in getting all four Probus Clubs in the Noosa Shire together to celebrate Probus Month,” said Anne Oxley, president of the Combined Probus Club of Noosa.
“Our theme this October is Celebrating Community and Companionship which really sums up what Probus is all about.
Together with my fellow coordinator, Joan Page, from the Probus Club of Tewantin Noosa, we have obtained permission to use the football grounds in Weyba Road for a BYO picnic on Thursday 17 October.
Marquees have been donated and we have lots of prizes for various games, suitable for retirees such as boules, klap, coits and hoop bowls. It will be a fun day.
“Probus provides retirees with an opportunity to connect socially with like minded people. Not only do you make new friends but you stay active both physically and mentally,” Anne told us.
“We meet monthly to enjoy the friendship of fellow members and listen to entertaining and interesting guest speakers. We offer a wide range of activities including trips and outings, dining experiences, movies, theatre, walks, golf, mind games, coffee mornings, wine tastings, fishing trips, book cubs, scabble, Mah-Jong and Rummikub. Car-pooling is available for most activities.
As a Probus member, you will enjoy domestic and international travel opportunities and access to exclusive discounts.
There are currently four Probus Clubs in the Noosa area. To find out more about them, phone 1300 630 488 or google Probus South Pacific then select website and find a club and Noosa and details of all four clubs, will appear,” Anne explained.
