CEO Silvana Martignagp

Welcome to the January/ February edition of Active Retirees.

This national publication, Active Retirees, is produced for the Probus Community. In this issue, we launch the #Probussummerchallenge as well as the next photographic competition. All Probus Club members are encouraged to submit their photos as we have some great prizes to give away thanks to our National Sponsor, Trade Travel. This issue also features Club news and some fantastic creative writing pieces from Probians as well as a range of interesting articles. I ask all Probus Club members to share this digital magazine with their friends so they can also learn more about our wonderful community.

In this issue, I am also pleased to announce our partnership with Coal River Coaches. Coal River Coaches is one of the leading Tasmanian transport, touring and travel companies with more than 25 years of business operation to their name. Coal River Coaches has dedicated Tasmanian Tours from 3 – 14 days in length with dedicated dates for all their tours and also love to tailor make group tours and travel programs as well.

This issue also includes our call for nominations from Probus Club members from either South Australia/Northern Territory to serve on the PSPL Board from August 2021 to August 2024.

Probus is all about staying socially connected and although some States and Territories across Australia are currently facing some further challenges, the majority of our Clubs are meeting, either face-to-face in smaller groups or by technological means. That is the objective of Probus, to stay socially connected and over the last few months Probus Clubs have found some amazing and innovative ways to stay engaged with their members demonstrating the resilience of our community.

As we begin the new year, we must all look positively into the future together with the understanding that the worst is surely behind us and 2021 will be bigger and better with much Probus fun, friendship and fellowship to be celebrated.

Until next time.
