President's Message Finally, spring has arrived! I hope you are experiencing the same sense of excitement as me when I stumble across dancing daffodils, listen to the birds seeking out a mate, and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. Spring is a feast for the senses! And so much to do. How to choose??? PROBUS Club of the Gateway is offering 5 events in May in addition to our Monthly Membership Meeting on May 20. As always, the events cater to a wide variety of interests; there is a musical, hiking, biking, and a few trips to a museum. We even have a special lunch to welcome new members which will take place after the May meeting. Our social committee continues to deliver – month after month. A big thank you for all that they do to keep our club vibrant and active. While most events are organized just for our Gateway members, there are PROBUS events that include members from different clubs. Clearly Ski Legends is on hold until the snow returns (and let’s not rush that), but there is an Art Club that meets from 9 am until noon, every Thursday, at the Leisure Club in Collingwood. For more information, go to our Gateway website and click on the Activity button, or click here: Art Club Speaking of art, don’t forget about the upcoming art show which we will be having at our October Monthly Membership Meeting. I have only had the pleasure of attending one of these events myself but it was impressive. Some of our members are fantastic photographers, some make cards using pictures they have painted or photos they have taken, some are artists, some knit, etc. Bottom line – we have a lot of creative talented people in our Club and this is their chance to showcase their hobby/side business. Some items will be for sale and some just to admire. If you have a hobby/talent you would like to showcase, please contact Shirley Blatchford and she will give you more information about this event. And the Georgian PROBUS Travel club has been hard at work. In fact; check out what’s coming up: 1. July 10-11 2025. A cruise has been booked
from Port Carling on the Peerless 2, along with a block of space at the
Windermere House for those interested in staying over. A lovely dinner and
sports are available. The next day, consider visiting one of the wonderful boat
museums nearby. Details on the GPTG website. 2. Agawa Canyon and Northern Ontario, 29 Sept to 03
Oct 2025. This is filling up fast, so hopefully, you can decide soon. See
the GPTG website. 3. Morocco, 10 Apr to 24 Apr 2026. Special 14 day trip includes most items such as hotels, guide, dessert camp, camels, mountains and beach etc. Details on the GPTG website. As you may have noted, the best way to keep in touch with what the GPTG is offering is to go directly to their website. Save this address as a favourite on your browser and check it out on a regular basis if you are interested in travel with other PROBUS members. The GPTG are continuously working on new offerings and I understand that some of the trips can fill up pretty fast. That’s a lot of information for one month. Time for me to head out on my bicycle. Hope to see you all at the May Monthly Membership Meeting.
