Mar. 18, 2008
Mr. Roger Haineault, a tax consultant, was the guest speaker for the meeting on Mar. 18, 2009 and was introduced by Don Thomkins.
Mr. Haineault then proceeded to outline various new measures in recent Federal and Provincial budgets that could be advantageous to us as senior citizens. There was also some explanation of the circumstances that have led to the current recession and measures that have been introduced to ameliorate them. A lively and informative question and answer session followed the presentation. Mr. Haineault (left) was thanked by Clarence Blois(right) seen shaking hands and the meeting adjourned for lunch at 12 noon.
In the back ground to the left is 2nd Vice President Bob Capson, and Phoghorn editor Ralph Wood.

Christmas Meeting 2008
At
the Dec. 17, 2008 Christmas meeting, the Probus members were entertained by
the Saint John String Quartet (top photo) comprized of David and Sonia Adams,
Chris Buckley, and Christine Gail-Harrison whose seasonal presentation was
a delightful combination of carols and seasonal music with interesting comments
on the origins of each piece. The members were then served a fine Christmas
lunch by the Boys and Girls Club staff and the members adjourned full of Christmas
cheer.
Pictured in two bottom photos are Probus members listening (left), and enjoying a sing song.
During the meeting, President Richard Burpee presented Debbie Cooper, the Executive Director of the Boys' and Girls' Club, with Probus' annual Christmas cheque.
Clarence Blois (left), the Club's Entertainment & Singing Chairman, shares a laugh- maybe at the quality of the singing that day! Don Tompkins (right), isn't quite sure what just happened. He has just taken over from long time historian Lou Duffley as the Club Historian and Photogragher, and will be prime for forwarding material to Club Webmaster Robert Lockhart for the web site.
