From the July newsletter:

President's message -

We are all looking forward to our Winter Warmer lunch which will be catered for by Peckish Catering, after the 20th July meeting.  We are celebrating the 50th birthday of Probus in Victoria.  We have blue and gold themed balloons and chocolates etc, to add to the party atmosphere.

Our June meeting was well attended despite the cold weather.  The speaker, Kerry Rendell, presented a very interesting talk on diabetes awareness.  Our Woman Behind the Badge, Yvonne Armstrong, gave us a wonderful insight into her life and career.  Yvonne also won the lucky door prize.  Cheers, Joy.
