Shoutouts

Let us know of a person or group who you feel has made a significant impact on Probus and/or the community.

 

Shoutout! to Jim Baston for volunteering his time and effort to organize the logistics for the popular bi-annual Fall Quilt Show hosted by the Buckhorn Area Quilt Guild at the Buckhorn Community Centre. His leadership and organization with WHC have made it the lifeblood of our club.  Jim's wise council, balanced sense of wisdom and timely wit with organizing golf, together all make him such a fair-minded negotiator with issues of what to do and how to do it.

 

Shoutout! to Mike Hart who is all things "volunteering" in his community.  Probus golf, reading buddy to children and every job imaginable with the Buckhorn Quilter's Guild.  Ask Mike and consider it done! As everyone knows, he has an amazing sense of humour for everything in life that has all of us endlessly chuckling,  And don't forget paprika on your egg salad sandwiches.  

 

Shoutout! to our president Betty Sommers who has also been President of the St.  Alphonsus Catholic Women's League.  She been in that role fore MANY years.  She is also involved with MapleRidge Seniors Centre and has been President in the past.  Betty is seldom free to meet up most days all due to her passionate dedication to being a volunteer in our community.

 

Shoutout! to Bill Collingridge for his impeccable attention to detail on planning many bus trips and events for our club and community.  Bill is truly a perfectionist in all his volunteer work for the club, and all of us have benefitted from his contributions, have regaled with his humour, wit, stories and melodious voice in all his wonderful activities.
