MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT JOAN HOYLE: Good morning ladies, and welcome to the first General Meeting with “yours truly” as President. I have been a member of this Club since July 2013, (10 years this year), and have enjoyed many fun times with lots of laughter. I cannot imagine a time when there are NO Thursdays to look forward to for some sort of social gathering. That’s why I will put every effort into keeping this Club active and ongoing. My committee members feel the same and are united in their efforts to keep the Club going. The Club now has only 38 members. BUT….that’s 38 members, most of whom can still enjoy social activities. So let’s support this Club. Go on the outings, whether it’s by bus or carpool. Come along to the coffee mornings, the meetings, the lunches.
It would be great to add to that list of activities, but we need more committee members plus members to help organise them.
You know, you don’t have to be on the committee to organise an activity. If you feel you have a great idea come and see me or speak to anybody on the Committee. Remember, Probus is about friendship, fun and fellowship, and that’s a great description of our Club. I am looking forward to my year as President and sharing fun times with my fellow members! Cheers, Joan Hoyle |
It’s that time of the year again ladies. The annual subscription has fallen due and is payable ASAP.
The amount of $45 should be paid to the Treasurer without delay because technically you are now overdue. You can pay either by cheque (made payable to Frankston Ladies Probus Club Inc.) or $45 cash, and place in an envelope with your name on the front.
(Most important - Don’t forget your name!)
BIRTHDAYS: Happy birthday wishes for April are extended to Angela Renton 9th, Jeanne McGarry 12th, Una Gales 22nd, Barbara Trickey 26th. Hope your birthdays will be fabulous.
SICKIES: Thankfully there have been no members reporting in sick for this month so far.
SPEAKERS:
13 April Clif Hardy will talk about “Extracts from Diaries”, and “Letters of a migrant – UK to Australia in 1916”
Some of our ladies are Ten Pound Poms so hopefully they will enjoy the talk.
11 May Senior Librarian at the Melbourne Athenaeum Library, Fiona Malcolm, will speak about the Atheneum, the
oldest subscription library in Victoria. It’s an historic library that’s been a haven in the city of Melbourne for
more than 175 years. It has a fascinating history which Fiona will tell us all about.
08 Jun Ray Higgins: Ray will give a demonstration of the didgeridoo and will talk about the history of where they
come from and how to play them. The whole thing should last one hour.
COFFEE MORNINGS:
20 Apr The Coffee Morning is a little bit different next week! We are having a guest speaker from the Forensic
Department, she is going to be talking about all things “forensic” – may I suggest almost CSI? Leading Snr
Const. Amanda Keogh.
18 May Trudy Land will show us how to use a defibrillator and give us a CPR demo.

OUTINGS: Past & Future
23 March : ARTHURS SEAT AND EAGLE GONDOLA OUTING. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to a storm arriving at the same time of departure. We weren’t sure how long the storm was going to last, and knowing the Gondola may be cancelled because of the storm, the decision was made to cancel. But it will definitely be rescheduled for a later date.
30 March: FRANKSTON BOTANIC GARDENS. Although the weather wasn’t the best, we still met up, enjoyed the gardens and the chat, followed by coffee/cake and more chatter. There were 4 no shows. Ladies, please keep a record of the outings you’ve signed up for when you add your name to the list and then, if you’re unable to make it, please phone/text a committee member whose name is on the list so that we are not needlessly waiting around.

surroundings. Be there any time from 12 midday. BOARD OUT FOR NUMBERS
