SPEAKER PROGRAM

* * * July 23rd, In-house Speakers * * *

Each July, instead of a guest speaker, three members are invited to present to the group about an area of interest, experience or expertise.

In the past members have spoken about:
Hobbies (map collecting, geocaching, wine collecting, gardening), Volunteering (polio eradication in Cameroon, supervising elections in S.W Africa),
Travel (Bullet Trains, Antarctic, Turkey),
History (Womens Rights Legislation, Titanic, Magna Carta, Holland in Wartime),
Local History (Perley-Rideau, Caledonia),
Facebook, Aviation, Trials of a Travel Agent and many more.

Presentations are between 10 and 15 minutes long.
It is a wonderful opportunity to help to build our community as we learn more about our interests.
If you would like to present or have any questions about presenting, please speak to Ken Blogg, our program coordinator or email him at kenneth.blogg@gmail.com

followed by * * OUR ANNUAL PICNIC * *

Mark your calendars for July 23rd. Bring with you your lunch, a lawn chair (or two if you have them) and a beverage of choice (no alcohol please).

We will gather outdoors if the weather is nice and indoors if it is not.

Sit and chat with friends and enjoy each other's company.

Stay Safe

Johnson Insurance

We have added a link to the Johnson Insurance web site (see "Links" page).
Johnson provides competitive rates for Probus members for all kinds of insurance, particularly travel insurance.
They are in the process of joining with Belair Direct, but this link will still give you access.

Guests and Visitors from other Clubs are welcome.

Meetings are at:

Gloucester Presbyterian Church
91 Pike Street
Ottawa K1T 3J6

Pike Street runs north from Hunt Club just west of Conroy. The church is at the corner of Lorry Greenberg and Pike. The parking lot entrance is off Pike.

... to stimulate thought, interest and participation in activities at a time in life when it is easy to become complacent and self-centred.
