Probus club celebrates 30 years
THE Probus Club of Hopkins has celebrated its 30th birthday.
The club, which was officially formed at a charter meeting on May 25, 1995 provides ladies from across the district with an opportunity to form new friendships, enjoy regular outings and meetings and, above all else, have fun.
The club’s initial formation meeting was held in April 1995 and attracted 40 ladies.
By the following month, the club had attracted 64 charter members; eight of which remain involved today – Elaine Downie, Margaret Wood, Margaret Lang, Joan Miller, Edith Freeland, Maureen McKenzie, Dorothy McLeod and Joan Malikoff.
Over the past 30 years members have enjoyed monthly get-togethers where they have listened to many interesting guest speakers.
The group has also enjoyed trips to various locations; locally, across the state and interstate, along with walks for the more active members.
