What is Probus Month
Our Community celebrated the inaugural Probus Day on 1 October 2020 – in line with the United Nations Day of Older Persons, which is recognised worldwide. In 2021 and 2022, Australia and New Zealand celebrations of Probus Day grew, with our communities and media recognising the important role Probus serves.
Probus Clubs held a wide range of special events to showcase and rejoice everything their Clubs mean to them. Monthly meetings became a festival of blue and gold, Probus Clubs took to their local parks, stadiums and public spaces for the jubilee. Landmarks across Australia and New Zealand were lit-up in Probus colours of blue and yellow and it has become clear that one day a year is just not enough to celebrate all that Probus does.
With that in mind, since 2023 we celebrate Probus Month with Clubs using the entire month of October to celebrate what makes their Clubs amazing.
Probus Month gives us an opportunity to celebrate what Probus is all about, it also creates awareness of Probus within the wider community.
