Probus ladies toast birthday

The Dandenong Ladies Probus Club’s 25th year Celebration Lunch was held on the same date it was founded – 6 June – at the Dandenong Club, where members met for the first time and still do today on the first Monday of the month.

Foundation member certificates were presented to June Gorma, Anne Drury and Joy McHugh by club president Sandra Burman, who then asked them to cut the cake.

Tom Torrence, Probus Ambassador for 9820 Region, gave a talk on the early years of the club and then presented the Probus Anniversary 25th certificate to Sandra.

Dandenong is now a multicultural city and the club keeps membership above 60, which shows Probus is a need in the community for friendship activities and a chat – as it did 25 years ago.
