Great start to the new year at Ithaca Probus Club

After Ithaca Probus Club members again enjoyed their traditional Christmas lunch at the Paddo Tavern they got the new year under way with a very successful Aussie Day BBQ at the Red Hill Bowls and Sporting Club. A great meal then we all entered into an Aussie song singalong with much enthusiasm. Unfortunately, technical problems in November caused the scheduled talk by Club member Judy Blaney on their experiences with donkeys on their small farm to be postponed, but will now take place at the February general meeting. Guest speaker at that meeting will be Loan Chow, telling us about Estate Planning.

Most of the wide range of interesting activities - talks, outings, and other socially engaging events, such as the cards group and the poetry group, will be resuming again after the summer break. Meanwhile our monthly newsletters have continued keeping members connected. We are delighted that we will be welcoming new members in coming months. New members are always most welcome at our meetings at 9.30am on the 2nd Thursday each month except December and January at the Red Hill Bowls and Community Club in Fulcher Road, Red Hill, and on any of our outings. If you would like to give us a try, please phone either of our Club Membership Officers Sue Vivian on 0413 544 202 or Janelle Rhodes on 0412 628 646.
