DescriptionA blue hanging banner with a gold fringe on the bottom. The front layer of the banner is made from a shiny satin weave fabric. There is a central embroidered circular logo with a large "P" in the middle and the word "Probus" underneath. "Womens Probus Club of Charlottetown" is embroidered above and below the circular logo. The back layer is made from blue fabric in a plain weave. The top of the banner is folded and sewn down to form a sleeve for a wooded dowel which has a twisted rope in gold and blue tied at either end. Narrative
Probus clubs were established as a social group for retired or semi-retired women and men. The word "probus" is a combination of professional and business and the goal is to offer a network which can help with the risk of isolation that can come when people retire. There are thousands of clubs worldwide.
The Women’s Probus Club of Charlottetown formed in 2003 with 58 members. The members benefit from guest speakers, events, daytrips and programs.
