Probus is
a world-wide organization
sponsored by Rotary with a large group of Clubs in Canada.
The name Probus is an acronym for Pro(fessional)
and Bus(iness) and has people from all walks of life as members. It
has become so popular in the southern Northumberland area that there
are now six clubs here. A Probus
brochure is also available.
Probus Clubs
worldwide are not service organizations
and are non-sectarian and non-political, although members are largely
active volunteers in many community organizations. Clubs are formed
to provide social events and schedule speakers to keep members
up to date with community issues and happenings. Many members have formed
smaller interest groups for hobbies such as sports, entertainment,
bridge playing, fishing, travel, computers, etc.
NEW - Peter Doyle from the Kanata Club
has been elected as our new Regional Director. Come and meet him at the Spring
Fling in May 2008.
