In consequence, we are asking that you pay your fees in a timely manner, and in any event by no later than the June meeting. This will allow us to continue to plan and conduct our meetings at the Legion and the many social activities we provide.

2. By credit card in the amount of $62.
3. By personal check

5. By cash (not encouraged)
Membership:
Our Continued Viability as a Probus club depends on our ability to attract new members, and replace those who have departed. It is therefore crucial, and part of the lifeblood of our club, that we all seek to bring in new members from friends, work acquaintances, family and those we meet in our neighbourhoods and in the community. We therefore request that you each consider who you might bring out to an introductory meeting to become part of our Probus family.
Remember: Be a Friend, Bring a Friend, and we will continue to grow and enjoy each other's company.

Past President

The life and career of an artistic pioneer are celebrated in this spirited musical biography which chronicles his triumphs and tragedies, from humble beginnings singing country music in small-town Texas to his rise up the record charts and into the hearts of music fans around the world.
This thrilling tribute explodes into full-throttled joy through renditions of Buddy Holly’s greatest hits – classics like “Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be The Day,” “Not Fade Away,” “Rave On,” and many more. The music lives on, as this musical celebration will have you bopping in the aisles and singing your way out of the theatre.
We will be attending a matinee at Kings Wharf Theatre for a performance of The Buddy Holly Story, preceded by a picnic.
Self Drive to the Theatre.
