Reconnecting with Rotary
09 May 2016
Rotary and Probus have been working hand-in-hand for many years to help retirees get involved with the community. Here’s how you can connect with your sponsoring Rotary club.
Probus provides a fun social environment for retired and semi-retired members of the community to come together in fellowship. This would not be possible without the support of Rotary.
Rotary plays a key role in not only the formation of new Probus clubs, but also in providing assistance to existing Probus clubs through the Rotary District Probus Chairman (RDPC). Probus is Rotary’s most successful community service activity.
Many Probus club members are also Rotarians and there are many synergies between Probus and Rotary. Both organisations play a vital role in the community and the strength in our success is in the partnership of these two great organisations working together.
We thank the clubs that have maintained contact with their sponsoring Rotary clubs and encourage all Probus clubs to reconnect with their sponsoring Rotary club.
Many Probus clubs have maintained great relationships with their sponsoring Rotary club with the following activities. Please consider these as part of your club’s celebration of 40 years of Probus in Australia:
- Invite the President of your sponsoring Rotary club as a guest speaker to provide an update on what is happening in your local community;
- Involve Rotary to share the fun in your club’s wonderful milestone events, such as the presentation of life membership certificates, anniversary celebrations and even your club functions;
- Share your club newsletters with Rotary and ask Rotary to do the same with your club. This can help keep your members up-to-date with what is happening in your community;
- Your club can hold a Probus open day to drive membership and you can invite your sponsoring Rotary club to attend so they can see Probus in action.
Finally, we would ask that you share your reconnection stories with the PSPL team to be included in either the Active Retirees magazine or the Probus South Pacific website.
