A WELCOME MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT, SUSAN POPP

  

  

Greetings, and welcome to The Probus Club of Milton.  We are delighted that you have taken the time to check out our website.  As you look around our website you will find that we enjoy various social groups such as book club, card games, wine tasting, bits and bites, plus we have special events such as theatre night, mini golf, and group tours. We end the year with a Christmas luncheon.

The Probus Club of Milton offers monthly meetings the first Wednesday of each month, except for July and August, at the Milton Sports Center, 605 Santa Maria Blvd, Milton, L9T 6J5.  At these monthly meetings we have guest speakers, fellowship with tea and coffee and the opportunity to sign up for special events.  

PROBUS is a volunteer-based, non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian organization that provides fellowship, friendship and fun for men and women in their retirement and semi-retirement.  We are not a fundraising or service club.

I invite you to give us a try.  Please click on “NEW MEMBER INQUIRY” and the Membership Director will make contact with you to provide additional information plus answer any questions you may have.

short history of our club, details from our archives

Summer 2005

The first thought of a Probus Club in Milton took place on a warm 2005 summer's day in the parking lot of Food Port, a local grocery store on the Northeast corner of Derry Road and Ontario Street.


Rotary Club, our sponsor

Rotary was having one of their fund raisers (selling hot dogs and pop) when Myra Faichnie, a current member and her late husband Bill were about to go shopping. The Faichnies had first joined Probus in Brampton and Bill made inquiries at the Rotary fund raising booth.

More

Keith and Norma Copeland (current members) appeared and Bill Faichnie shanghaied  them to talk with Tom Dusmet the then Rotary President.  Next, Rotary agreed to sponsor the first Probus Club in Milton and assist in finding a meeting venue at St. Paul's United Church. 

New Committee members

The above organizers together with Dan and Linda Reid, Gus and Heather McCorquodale, John and Diane Mitchell (the latter persons current members save the late John) canvassed the town for interest and draft a Constitution and Bylaws, Guidelines and plan for an information meeting.

Information Meeting Overwhelming Response

The committee hoped for a turnout of 40-50 persons at the information meeting but 80 members signed up at this first meeting..


Charter received November 8, 2005

The Charter Meeting was held on Wednesday December 7, 2005. At the  first General meeting January 4, 2006, the turnout was 113 registered members.
