Why I joined Probus - It is a great club with no fund raising, non political and non religious. I enjoy the excellent monthly speakers and monthly tours of a wide variety of businesses. The monthly activities also are very attractive.The friendships that have developed over the years are priceless. - Mervin
I've been a member of our local Probus Northumberland for three years now. My wife and I were approached some eight years ago and asked if we would like to attend a meeting. I was the reluctant one, not really interested in spending a couple of hours, twice monthly, in a hall socializing and listening to guest speakers. My loss!

When I first moved to Nanaimo I was invited to attend Probus meetings and joined various activities. I could not join the club because it was so popular there was a waiting list. Having later become a member I felt more comfortable attending events but need not have worried because I was welcomed regardless and have made numerous friends since those early days. PROBUS clubs provide a wonderful opportunity for those of us who are either semi- or fully retired and wish to find a "home". - Trevor
