Robert Grose, President 2014

March means the end of winter and spring reigns eternal.

This month has also been declared National PROBUS month by PROBUS Centre-Canada. It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate PROBUS and let our friends and community know what PROBUS is.

The basic purpose of PROBUS clubs is to provide a regular gathering of persons who, in their retirement, appreciate and value opportunities to meet others in similar circumstances and levels of interest; i.e. to provide options for members to maintain a path of fellowship and learning.

The Northwest Bay PROBUS club strives to do this with interesting speakers, interest groups, outings, and social events. In the end, what you get out of PROBUS is what you put in and the degree to which you participate. So spread the word and hand out your PROBUS cards and invite your friends to join us in PROBUS.

I look forward to returning from my snowbird experience in Palm Springs and seeing everyone at the April meeting. Have a great month!
