So April Fools Day has come and gone. March followed the adage ”In like a lamb, out like a lion”.
I had the privilege to represent our club on the District 4 zoom call with Martin Clapper the District 4 rep and Canadian President. This call was to review the changes to the Canadian Constitution and Bylaws. 16 of the 22 chapters were represented from District 4.
Woodstock is the smallest club at 86 members. Other chapters ranged from 100 to 250 with several clubs having wait lists up to 50. The push from HQ was to grow membership and to launch new clubs. The universal concern was attracting new members to the leadership team with many clubs extending terms of office for senior leaders. The approach to leaders in older clubs maybe to remind members that just because you have served once doesn't mean you cannot serve again. We have to solve this issue to keep our club operating and Probus growing.

Important Facts to Remember as You Grow Older
A FROG, A BANK AND A LOAN
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a $30000 loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."
Patti asks for his name and some collateral. The frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and he produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti finds the manager and says "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who wants to borrow $30,000 with this as collateral, holding up the tiny pink elephant."
The bank manager smiles at her and says: "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone"
