Probus Tomorrow’s Vision for Active Retirees
PROBUS is an association for active retirees who join together in clubs, the basic purpose of which is to provide regular opportunities for them to keep their minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
If you are an active retiree or no longer working full time you may like to join a social club to enjoy friendship, fellowship and fun. PROBUS can offer a great avenue of interests and new horizons.
Probus meets the needs of retirees by providing opportunities to keep their minds active, expand their interests, stay healthy through activities, benefit from training programs, network between like minded people and enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
Probus can provide members of the community with fresh ideas to enrich and fulfil their lives in retirement.
