2008 Barbecue - also known
as Summer Sizzler
This year's Barbecue will be held at the same place - the Victoria
Park Pavillion - and the date will be Thursday August 7th. Price
was $15 but $5 is subsidized by the club so you
only pay $10.
Last year's chefs have retired and we will now employ a caterer.
There will be no regular meeting on this date

Committees
All Probus clubs are run by the members. A good way to organize
the various activities is to form committees to look after them.
[Click here for this year's
committees]. A good committee realizes
that not only do they have the job of doing whatever it is they were
assigned to do, but they should also have fun while doing it. At
right is a photo of most of the "Program" Committee at
an "end-of
year" get
together.
New members especially can get the most out of Probus by joining
a committee - the most new friends and the most fun!
