Probus celebrates 15 years with birthday bash

Probus Pakenham Central has marked its 15th anniversary with a big birthday bash, proving that retirement is no excuse not to party.

The Probus club was established in June 2010 to meet the social needs of a growing population of retired and semi-retired locals.

Probians celebrated 15 years at the Officer Sports Club on Thursday 19 June.

Party pies and chocolate crackles were devoured over a few cheeky libations.

Fellow member and Elvis impersonator Andy Castleton gave a performance to the delight of party-hat wearing probians.

Mayor Jack Kowarzik joined the celebration and handed over the official certificate for 15 years from Probus South Pacific.

A special birthday cake followed, with games such as pass the parcel enjoyed.

The birthday showed the joy, friendship, and community spirit that Probus provides.

The club hosts dine outs, outings, coffee mornings, walking groups, craft groups and much more.

Monthly meetings include reports on the club activities, interesting speakers and opportunities to socialise.

If you wish to visit the club, contact Membership Officer, Jenny on 0419 421 950 or email pakenhamcentralprobus@gmail.com.
