As of October 31st, 2017 there were 239 active PROBUS Clubs in Canada with 34,354 members (http://www.probus.org/canada.htm). Probus, besides being an organizational name, has meaning as an adjective: good, serviceable, excellent, superior, able –or- upright, honest, virtuous (https://en.wiktionary. org/wiki/probus). Now that (Probus) is an adjective to aspire to! Our mission for 2017-2018: fun, fellowship, food, and fitness (mental/physical/social/spiritual).
For the Kamloops Grasslands Probus Club (KGPC) there are 120 members. Please welcome new members this November as several charter members opted not to renew. The waitlist for KGPC membership is now around 30 people. KGPC members will be asked to support an increase in the membership to 150. Can KGPC accommodate another 30 members? Much appreciation is extended to Av, Reg, and Judy for their contributions to the management of membership/registration (money, commitment, counting, registering, keeping people informed). The management team used ClubRunner software to manage membership/registration and communication in general. As we learn the system it is proving to be helpful to the management team.
The November General Meeting will include speaker Craig Jones, welcome to new members, a review of last 2016-2017 revenues/expenses and a proposed budget for 2017-2018, a notice of motion to increase membership to 150 members, and a chance to sign-up to interest groups or form a new interest group.
