Kincardine Probus Club celebrates 30th anniversary

District 5 Probus director June Ayrhart was the guest speaker, as the Kincardine Probus Club celebrated its 30th anniversary Tuesday, May 21.

Bill Turvill and John Cutting started the local club in 1994.

Ayrhart explained a little bit of the history about Probus, stating that it began, internationally, in 1987. Now, there are more than 4,000 clubs worldwide - 250 of them in Canada – with more than 35,000 members nationwide.

She is pleased that local clubs are a source of positive energy, social interaction, and friendship, where one can enjoy learning something new each month, and participate in a friendly atmosphere without fund-raising.

Ayrhart is proud that Probus Canada facilitates the success by providing resources. She cited the promised national goal is providing fellowship, friendship and fun for all men and women in their retirement and semi-retirement years.
