Newsletters are delivered to members each month, with messages from our President Joy and lots of interesting information about the club's activities.  Many thanks always to Angela, our Newsletter Editor.

From the February newsletter:

• President's message - "What an enjoyable start to our Probus Year 2026 with a short ‘welcome back’ meeting followed by a barbecue outside on the lawn on a perfect January Day. It was good to catch up with our Probus friends once again. A big thank you to our wonderful organiser Joan Matthews who has organised this special event so well for many years. This year is also of special significance for Probus as it’s the 50th Anniversary of Probus Clubs in Australia. We are looking forward to another happy and healthy year. Joy"
• The speaker at our meeting on 16 February will be Gracie De Sensis on Nutrition.
• The Woman Behind the Badge is Katherine Thomas.
• Please wear your name badge to all Probus functions.  
• Members are encouraged to collect and save plastic bread ties, stamps and hearing aid batteries which can all be re-used.  Please bring to meetings and pass on to Gerie. 
• Please now pass on used tablet foils to Pam Mullaly (fattened out first please and placed in paper bags).
