AUGUST 2025

34 Probus Club members and friends share a wonderful day at the Buddhist Temple Tour on August 18. Thanks to Diane Reeds, for this memorable picture.
Maria Bennett commented: “Thank you for sharing a wonderful day at the Buddhist Temple with 34 Probus Club members and friends. It’s a special experience to meditate with a monk. We are certainly blessed to have this opportunity.”
Jane Stewart commented: “Today was very special. The tour, the knowledge that was shared, the beauty and peacefulness of the grounds and temple were so inspiring. My favourite was sound meditation. That was a new experience for me. I felt “enlightened” when I left the site. And the lunch was delicious. Unfortunately I was so hungry I ate more than I should have. But on the other hand, I didn’t need supper. Thank you once again for a wonderful day.”


- Lunch following the Tour was at Aunt Laura’s Tea Room, Bethany.
- Afternoon Social on August 14 at Olympia Restaurant, enjoyed by 11 members.

Happy Birthday, Catherine Philp. A delightful lady, who is 95 yrs. young today, and is an inspiration to all.
