The Upper Yarra Probus Club is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, with all past or present club members and interested parties to be welcome.
No date has been confirmed as of yet but it will be an opportunity to commemorate the achievements of the Club, and encourage new members of the community to become involved
The Probus Club of Upper Yarra was founded in 1983 by Martin Munro a member of the Rotary Club of Yarra Junction, initially as a men’s only club but in 2010 opened its doors to include women and changed to a combined club. The core values of the Probus movement are fun, friendship and fellowship, of which Upper Yarra Probus Club is no exception. The club meet at the Yarra Junction Bowling Club on the first Wednesday of every month, starting at 9.30am, and following formal proceedings, attendees enjoy socialising and lunch at a local venue.
Outings and social events are arranged throughout the month for members who wish to participate and the group also have a welfare officer who contacts members who are unwell or need assistance.
