PROBUS DAY CELEBRATIONS Throughout the month of October Probus Clubs participated in a range of events, functions and activities. Some of the festivities that took place included BBQs, picnics, lunches and morning teas. Although there were restrictions in some areas, it did not prevent our Probus community from celebrating Probus Day. This year’s theme ‘Celebrate Probus – do a friend a favour’ was centred around the idea of bringing people together. Probus members were called into action and asked to help a friend stay connected by joining Probus. Members across New Zealand invited friends, and family to their events to experience Probus for themselves. Some Clubs have already seen an increased awareness of Probus in their communities.
ISEL LADIES CELEBRATE PROBUS DAY Isel Ladies Probus Club from Nelson decided to celebrate Probus month in a historic Nelson venue, Founders Heritage Village. 23 members braved the awful weather and weren't deterred even though the arranged train trip was cancelled. It was an enjoyable day for everyone who attended with plenty of laughter, fun and fellowship.

To commemorate Probus Day special buildings, streets and landmarks were lit up across New Zealand in Probus Colours. Members who were able to get out, got to experience these lights for themselves. PSPL would like to thank all the Clubs, volunteers, organisations and individuals who contributed to the success of Probus Day 2021. Preparations for Probus Day 2022 are already underway as Probus Clubs have already started planning their celebrations for next year.
