Where Age Doesn’t Keep Us From Thinking Young!
Read MoreOur Strength is Fellowship; Our Success is Participation.
The Probus Club of Collingwood, which celebrated it’s 34th anniversary in October, 2020, is the original men’s Probus Club of the Georgian Triangle, and one of the first in Ontario. Informative speakers each month combined with a membership of over 140 retired and semi-retired active men, enable us to create a place of enjoyment and fellowship in the community, emphasizing the Probus motto. We enjoy numerous trips and social events throughout the year, including golf, biking, theatre, excursions, and tours of businesses throughout Ontario.
All regular meetings are cancelled until further notice. Meetings are now conducted on ZOOM.
August 5, ZOOM Meeting
Fellow Probus members:
August speaker: Shelby Worts, (yes, scion of the historic Jim & John Worts clan) will fill us in on her adventures. She arrived in Italy for a 6 month sabbatical mere days before the pandemic kicked in. Members will recall that Italy was one of the hardest hit countries early on, and enforced strict lockdown conditions. Shelby still managed to get a unique view of Italian culture in action.
Shelby Worts is a Naturopathic Doctor in Collingwood, and her passion is to help people feel better. After 15 years in practice, she decided to take a 3 month sabbatical in Italy. Departing March 2nd, 2020, her travels took an unexpected - but not necessarily unwelcome - turn when the WHO declared a pandemic and the country went into strict lockdown 1 week later.
On August 5th learn how she managed through lockdown in a foreign country, and what she experienced as restrictions lifted.
Al Grondin and Brian Currie will start things off 'cruzin' with The Wasaga Beach Cruisers!
