From the President's Desk

G’day Friends,

It is always a wonderful sight to watch our members coming along to the meeting and joining with so many friends whom they may never have met without Probus.

This month we welcomed three more visitors, who were giving us the once over, and who were made to feel very welcome. This friendship could also be seen with a large group getting together for lunch at Rashay’s and another two-dozen members meeting for a regular coffee break at Campbelltown Mall on the first Monday of the month. I was very fortunate to be able to attend both events and time just seemed to fly by as I enjoyed the camaraderie of those present. I can only exhort more of our members to come along and join in the various activities which are being provided for our enjoyment.

Sadly, I will not be able to attend the Christmas in July at the Macarthur Tavern on Wednesday, as I will be setting up for an orchid show, which is me wearing another of my hats. However, with over sixty members showing an interest in going I am sure it will be a very good time with a lot of socialization.

Thinking out loud, as I often do, we should all be thinking “what can I do? what can I offer? how can I become involved in the organization of my Probus Club”? So please don’t wait until the A.G.M. to sit back and wait to see who will step forward, let’s start now to get everyone to place their best foot forward. There are a lot of talented people in our membership, and we should use that talent for the common good.

So, now that winter is truly upon us and we are having some bleak days, start to firstly look after yourselves. Secondly, how about you pick up the phone and call one or two people and see how they are going at this time. 

See you at the July 16th meeting

Regards to all

Tony Asquith
