Mortdale Probus Club

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (18:31):

:00 I inform the House of the success of the Mortdale Probus Club's Christmas luncheon. Mortdale Probus Club assists semiretired and fully retired individuals to continue to engage with the community. The club gathers monthly at Mortdale RSL, the same venue where the Christmas luncheon took place. Given its connection to local Rotary clubs, Mortdale Probus is in a unique position to be able to benefit the whole community, not just retirees. The luncheon was a great occasion that provided the opportunity to wind down after what had been a productive year for the club. It was also an opportunity to announce a one‑off $500 grant from the New South Wales Government to the Mortdale Probus Club. The funding will assist with the printing of its monthly newsletter and the distribution of the official Probus magazine. The funding will also assist with the continuation of the club's highly regarded community work. I thank president Alan Taylor, secretary Colin Bishop and the Mortdale Probus Club for the luncheon and I wish them all the best for 2020.
