Next Monthly Meeting:
Tuesday, January 5th
January’s speaker will be Dr. Jamie Gillies. Most Probus members would be quite familiar with him as we have had him several times, always popular. He’s coordinator of the Communications and Public Policy program in the Dept. of Communications and Journalism at STU, but more on point, he has an expertise in American politics, so he’ll be focusing on the Midterm results and whatever happens between now and January with Trump and company.
.
Following each Probus meeting, members are warmly invited to gather for lunch at the Brass Rail Restaurant at the Fredericton Inn, just a short drive away. Seniors receive a 10% discount. This relaxed gathering is a valuable opportunity to continue the conversation, connect with fellow members, exchange thoughts about the speaker’s presentation, and share personal interests and projects. Join us for good food, friendly conversation, and the welcoming sense of community that makes Probus special.
