“The Probus Club of Port Stephens, as do all Probus Clubs, welcomes retired and semi-retired seniors of both genders to join their happy band of like minded people,” Ann Gibson, Probus Club of Port Stephens, told News Of The Area.

“The members who volunteer to join the committee or nominate to organise activities do their very best to be thoughtful and inclusive in these many and varied functions.

“There is something for everyone.”

Members are encouraged to go out of their way to welcome newcomers and make sure they feel comfortable.

“We also have a culture of looking after our members and reinforcing the catch cry of Probus which is ‘Fun, Fellowship and Friendship’ and sometimes we add ‘Functions, Food and Frivolity’.”

Many people retire to Port Stephens, leaving behind family and friends, and may feel isolated and a little friendless.

Joining a Club such as Probus can enrich one’s life, keep you active and connected to your local community.

Volunteering at a club is a great way to connect to a new community.

“We are very fortunate in Port Stephens to have a number of Probus Clubs as well as a wide choice of other organisations to join.

“But why not give Probus a try?

“You won’t be sorry!” said Ann.

Probus Clubs do not require members to be actively involved in fundraising.
