Treasured treasurer

25 May 2022

The Probus Club of Karrinyup & North Beach celebrated 25 years of service by its longest serving member, Syd Purcher.

The Club welcomed Syd a quarter of a century ago on 14 April 1997. Everyone at the Club is delighted that Syd still wishes to be part of the action at Probus, enjoying the company of fellow members, listening to speakers and attending outings now with one of his daughters.

Syd was elected Treasurer in 1998, and must have enjoyed counting money, because he continued in this position until 2018. His dedication to this role over 20 years has been much appreciated by all members.

Although Syd’s wife Margaret was never officially a member, the Club fondly remembers her attending functions with him.

Syd was presented with a Certificate of Recognition, together with a Probus Cap and 25-year pin, before cutting his 25-year Celebration Cake at a morning tea for members and guests to help him celebrate this special occasion.
