The Inyoni Creek Probus Club proved once again that you do not have to be young to have fun.
The club celebrated its seventh year with a three-course meal.
Members walked into the Rand Aid Association retirement village’s clubhouse to a room festooned with polka dot balloons, tables decorated with streamers, polka dot hats, party favours and eye-catching menus that would make a Michelin Star restaurant proud.
The meeting, held on October 20, opened with President Arthur Hadden welcoming the special guests, Ms Heidi Tucker, President of the Benoni Aurora Rotary Club, and her husband Mark; Honorary Life Members and Inyoni Creek residents Mr Vernon and Ms Connie Schultz; Honorary Auditor Mr Brian Quigly; Ms Jenny Tonkin, the Manager of Inyoni Creek, and her husband Mr Gavin Tonkin.
“We are in for a Fun/Pun Evening,” said Mr Hadden. A children’s party would not be complete without a game or two and those gathered played Pass the Parcel.
“To see our members gaily passing three parcels around the room to the tune of celebrations allowed us to re-capture, even for a moment, a little bit of our childhood,” said Mr Hadden.
Then came the quiz, twenty questions.
The winning team, with 18 correct answers, had a retired headmaster on its side. After dessert of jelly and ice cream, the meeting was closed with a heartfelt thank you to every person who had contributed to such a joyous evening. Members were seen taking home balloons and party favours for their grandchildren.
