Sherwood Park Probus Club
The Sherwood Park Probus Club was established in July 2025 and currently has a membership of 60 members. Monthly meetings are held at the Strathcona Community Centre, every third Thursday at 0945. There are guest speakers at each meeting, followed by a social time and a brief business meeting. Following the meetings an optional lunch is arranged at a local restaurant, at your own cost. Each month there is a tour of a local business, or industry of interest. An example of some of the tours have been to Arctic Chiller, NAIT Culinary Department, ACQBuilt to name a few.
Probus is a social club, not a service club. It is volunteer-based, low-cost, inclusive, non-profit, non-political, and non-sectarian organization focused on promoting fellowship, friendship, fun and learning. It is about making and embracing social connections, making new friends at a time of life when it is tempting to be passive and just be an observer. Clubs are all about socializing with other retirees in the community and encouraging healthy minds and bodies. Members’ ages typically range from late-50s to mid 90s. Currently new membership is $75.00 for the first year and $65.00 for returning members.
Next Meeting November 19.
