PROBUS Pickering lakeside

NOVEMBER:   "When the gray November weather came, it hung its soft dark clouds low and unbroken over the brown of the ploughed fields. The heavy stillness weighed my heart down to a forlorn yearning after the pleasant things of summer"....

November, the month before the celebration of Christmas and the end of the year.  November is an end and a beginning, in itself.   The end of the balmy days of summer and fall, and the harbinger of winter.   All the leaves are brown or gone! Evergreens are left, marching like the soldiers who died so long ago in foreign lands.

We have Remembrance.   We have fall fairs and winter markets, Christmas concerts, and events aplenty.  For PROBUS, it is another chance to meet new people, enjoy a wonderful speaker, Diane Dupuy, and enjoy the coming season.

Check out here on our website regularly for all the news and to sign up for activities and trips...use your membership as a resource.  You'll be glad you did!
