Happy New Year! Not only is the new year a good time for a fresh start, but it is also an ideal time to reset your social life. Start the new year with a healthy attitude. No regrets, no recriminations over past choices, just an intention to embrace positive change and look ahead with confidence. After the bustle of the holiday season, it’s time to take stock. Assess your social commitments to see whether or not you continue to make new friends? To meet your goal of lifelong learning? To fill your days with meaningful activities? Make the most of the post-holiday season and recalibrate for 2024 by joining a Probus Club.
Probus is a social club for retired men and women providing an opportunity to meet socially and enjoy an interesting program of talks, presentations and activities. The club is purely social, and members have no obligations as to how many meetings to attend each year. Most Probus clubs are available for your enjoyment and participation ten months of the year as there are no meetings scheduled for the months of July and August.
You can be involved in the club as much or as little as you wish, which is ideal for those retirees who like to travel at various times of the year. Choose a club and attend a meeting as a guest to assess whether or not you feel comfortable within that particular group. You will be greeted warmly, introduced to the group as well as have the opportunity to listen to that month’s guest speaker. You may be invited to purchase a lunch ticket or join the group for lunch at a nearby pub.
