What is Probus?

Probus opens the door to new experiences and friendships, you can hear wonderful guest speakers, stay active by participating in a range of activities and explore your community, your country or the world.

The basic purpose of a Probus club is to provide regular gatherings of persons, who, in their retirement appreciate and value opportunities to meet others in similar circumstances with similar levels of interest.

The term PROBUS is derived from two words, PROfessional and BUSiness. It is an association of retired people who join together in a non-political, non-sectarian International Club which provides a regular opportunity for them to meet like minded folk, make new friends and expand their interests.

All clubs are sponsored by Rotary Clubs, but potential Probus members are not required to be past members of Rotary. Fewer than 10% of Probus members are former Rotarians.
