Special Note

September Meeting promo

Since the Marysville experience could have valuable lessons for Dandenong Ranges residents, visitors are welcome at the September meeting. You should see this poster on shop windows around Olinda.

 
 

About Probus Olinda - -

Probus Olinda is an activity group for "on-the-move" seniors who feel that life is for living - not vegetating.

We are not a fund raising group - our activities are social in nature.
 
We have monthly meetings in Olinda and they are a treat -  you wouldn't believe there could be so many interesting speakers around.

And we have a lot of optional activities you can get into if you feel like it  - things like:

  • a walking group (easy going walks twice a month, that always seem to end up at a coffee shop)
  • lunches and (occasional) dinners
  • tours to interesting places

If you want to find out what Probus Olinda is all about - just go grazing in this website:

And if you want to drop in - do so - we'd like to see you.
You are welcome to just turn up at the next meeting (listed below),
or if you would like to ask questions about our group, click on the Inquiry Form at the left and ask someone to call you.

Our monthly meetings are on the second Wednesday of the month at the Olinda Community House (see below).

OK - that's the end of "the spiel" - now for the news and latest photos.
