February 2010

Message from the President

Bunny Shaw

February has finally arrived and perhaps we can look for some long sunny days. I thank you very much for your sympathy cards.

The goal of Probus is about fellowship and providing opportunities for our members to make new acquaintances. If any member feels left out, the reason could be because of the lack of involvement in club activities either on a committee or a management team. When an opportunity presents itself please volunteer your time and talents. Our club has been very successful because many of our members really work hard to make it a success.

There will be an Executive Meeting on February 15 at 10 a.m..

Bunny Shaw
President
