Probus Club of Springs has a new president

She was inducted at the club’s recent monthly meeting, held at SpringsCare Community Centre, CBD.

Probus is a non-profit international association of retired and semi-retired people who come together in autonomous clubs to participate in activities which meet their own interests.

The primary purpose of the club is to provide the opportunity for regular gatherings of people who, in retirement, appreciate and value the opportunity to meet others with similar interests.

Event coordinator Barend Smit says Marion will serve a one-year term, until May, next year.

The club consists of 42 members, both men and women, who embark on enlightening outings to places of interest.

“These visits are aimed at stimulating the mind and thinking of the older people,” he says.

There are 17 Probus clubs in Gauteng and 96 in South Africa.

Smit says they are a non-political and non-racial club.

The emphasis of the club is:

• Being simple in structure and free from the constraints and obligations of service clubs, including no fund-raising or community service.

• Involving members at minimum cost.

• To provide the opportunity for the development of friendship and fellowship between people with similar interests.
