Life Members Jerry Moss and Baden Nord cut the birthday cake
Probus Club Halekulani is celebrating its 40th year of friendly fellowship for people who want to have fun in retirement and share social and cultural activities with people of similar interests.
Members of the club held an anniversary luncheon recently when President Anne Rose was presented with the 40 year Certificate by Peter McCloskey who is secretary of North Lakes/Toukley Rotary Club.
Life Members and the two longest standing members, Baden Nord and Jerry Moss, both well into their 90s, cut the birthday cake before a game of trivia about the club history and membership, followed by entertainment by South Lakes Harmony Chorus.
The inaugural meeting of Probus Club Halekulani was on September 4, 1982 and was formed by the Rotary Club of Toukley.
Initially the Club was known as Probus Club – Doyalson and was a Mens’ Club and after a few years, the Club changed its name to the current one, then in 2014 it became a Combined Club and in 2016 it Incorporated.
Probus Club Halekulani meets regularly at the Halekulani Bowling Club on the first Thursday of the month starting at 9.30am (except January).
This bunch of active retirees enjoy a variety of interesting guest speakers as well as regular outings and various other social functions including restaurant lunches and dinners, picnics, theatre outings and from time to time members run special-interest workshops.
New members are always welcome and those interested should contact Membership Officer Gary Dean on 0408 021 990.
