SEPTEMBER 10th Meeting . ANOTHER MASKED EVENT

 Another Covid safe meeting took place today. 

We had our Temp taken,  signed in , wore masks, Social distanced, morning tea was served differently  etc but we were able to have our September meeting regardless so that is the main thing .  

It was lovely to see so many  familiar Probus family faces again.   

We are all   being very careful and playing it safe but we made it to another meeting.  WELL DONE everyone .

 Chairs were placed 1.5 MTR  apart except for some couple chairs that were side by side .

It was Carols 1st full meeting and there was a lot to do, a Certificate of Appreciation for his services went to Lional G.   and  an OBE went to Peter M.  and then a Life membership honour was given to John E.  There were 3 inductions to be made but the 3 new members were not able to be there due to family issues etc. 

So next meeting we will see them again we hope.

 We have induction certificates and badges for them so we hope to  catch up with them soon .

 We had a previous visitor Noel P.  visit us again today and this time Noel  put his membership application in so hopefully at our next meeting in Oct.  we will be welcoming  4 new members  into our Ranks . 

John E. was our guest speaker today and spoke about his  early life and  the IMPORTANCE of writing your story  down  for your future generations to read.  Hope you've all made a start on your stories. 

Very  often we hear someones story at their funeral and so much should have been  put on paper by the person for the family to keep . Next month we hear from Alan G , another interesting life story ...
