Fun and Friendship in Retirement
If you are close to or have recently retired, want more social contact, Probus might just be the answer.
Probus is a social group of active retired and semi-retired men and women who meet monthly to keep their minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends. . Friendship, Fellowship, and Fun are Probus trademarks. Unlike Rotary, Probus clubs are not service clubs and do not raise funds. Neither do they seek to make a profit; they only charge a moderate membership fee. Members meet on a regular basis, listen to interesting speakers, have local trips and visits, regular luncheons, and join together in wide range of interest groups, and other activities. New members welcome.
Hamilton West Probus meets every 4th Thursday, coffee at 9.30am, meeting starts 10.00am, at the Hamilton Workingman’s Club, 45 Commerce Street, Frankton, Hamilton.
New members welcome.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
