HomestoriesMonthly report from Stanthorpe Probus

Monthly report from Stanthorpe Probus

Our monthly meeting took place at the RSL with a delightful morning tea, and Guest Speakers were Michelle and Sharon from Hear4Good. Tenterfield Probus President Jan Ross also came for a visit to see if there were any ideas she could use at her club.

Michelle gave us a good rundown on how most hearing is lost, and how important it is for correct identification of the part of the ear that is affected. She also told us the most useful ways a partner could help their spouse during a conversation. Hear4Good is in Warwick, but travel to Stanthorpe each Thursday. For more information ph 07 4661 3893.

On 18th May there was a bus trip to Alcheringa Cotton Farm at Goondiwindi, where we toured a working farm, stopped at the Goondiwindi Cotton Shop, and had lunch at a hotel. Morning tea was supplied at a stopover at Yelarbon where we viewed the beautiful painted silos, and the return trip was via Texas.

The guest speaker for May will be Julie Barnes, President of U3A.

Our next meeting will be held on 24 May at the RSL at 9.15am.
