WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE

THE ROSEBUD MEN'S PROBUS INC.
ONE OF THE 1789 CLUBS WITHIN AUSTRALIA
AND
ONE OF THE 44 CLUBS SITUATED ON THE BEAUTIFUL
MORNINGTON PENINSULA.
In November 1983 The Rosebud Rotary Club set up a
Committee that researched the demand for a Probus Club in
the district. They were convinced that there was a need to
enhance the intrerest of the retired and semi retired men ad so,
on Tuesday 7th Febuary 1984 the club was formed.
On Tuesday 3rd Febuary 2009 there was a luncheon which celebrated
25 years of meeting the requirements of the Club's Mission Statement
and was a recommittal to the future.
"TO PROVIDE MEMBERS WITH BOTH INTELLECTUAL
AND CULTURAL INTERESTS AND TO FOSTER A
VIBANT SOCIAL ATMOSPHERE FOR THOSE MEMBERS"
Retiring President John Abbey removes the Collar of Office to induct
Peter Swan OAM as the 29th President of the club.
Peter was awarded the Order of Australia Medal because of his
ongoing commitment to the Volunteer Coastguard
