Starting a new activity/group

The PROBUS Club of Prince Edward County can have any number of activity groups to meet the interests of members. Any member can start a new activity group. All they need to do is reach out to the Social/Entertainment Chair who will pass it by the Management Committee. Then the person who has volunteered as leader can write a piece for the next newsletter and send an email to the membership to introduce the new activity group. People will then sign up to participate. The person can then act as “leader” or the task of arranging things can be shared by members of the group. Each group decides where, when, and how often to meet.

Join me

“Join Me events” are a one-time occurrence that any and every member can take the lead on. A few of them have been done, i.e.: boat tour to Main Duck Island; the Mini Putt last fall; 2 skating events; The Drake International Women’s Day event; the Sugarbush Trivia walk; the Dukes Hockey game; ballroom dancing; a vegan meal.

If a member of the club wants to invite PROBUS members to join them on anything, whether it’s to meet for a coffee or see a play, all they need to do is email the Social/Entertainment Chair with some details and they will send the invitation to the PROBUS members by email.

Some ideas for a Join Me event would be coffee, lunch, a movie, a music venue, bowling, a visit to the casino or a visit to the Kingston Pen. This is a great way to hear about things.

Special Events Arranged by the Management Committee

From time to time the Management Committee arranges special events that members of the Club can sign up for. Such events have included: Boat Tour on the Napanee River; lunch at The View Restaurant following a monthly meeting; lunch on site at the Elk’s Hall following a monthly meeting; a tour of Macaulay Heritage Park followed by lunch at the Stone Room, which is part of the museum; picnic at Mariner’s Park Museum; tour, talk and picnic at the South Shore; dancing with The Reasons Band and a pot luck.
