Probus Clubs exist to fill a need of retired persons in the community who have been accustomed to high levels of vocational activity and decision making in their working lives. The principal objective of every Probus Club is to create and maintain a homogeneous group that provides the fellowship and intellectual stimulation.
History of our Club

SHARING COTTAGE BY THE SEA
SHARING COTTAGE BY THE SEA

Donna is the Melbourne community relations Manager for Cottage by the Sea and shares the inspiration, fun and opportunity that the Cottage by the Sea offers disadvantaged children, all over Victoria.

Donna speaks with warmth, compassion, engaging with her audience in an informative and relaxed manner, with a touch of humour. 

Cottage by the Sea’s focus is on providing the best possible opportunities for children who are struggling, and further supporting their families and community. 

Cottage by the Sea is based in beautiful sunny Queenscliff, right by the sea, where the children attend camp programs from primary school age to eighteen years of age. Creating a positive safe environment for the children, with their skilled program leaders and volunteers supporting the children all the way. This builds confidence in children to take with them when they leave the Cottage, enhancing their lives at school in a positive way and for their future endeavours.
