THE Annual General Meeting of the Combined Probus Club of Whittlesea was held on Monday, March 3 at the Whittlesea Bowls Club.
The final official function of the 2024 president Cheryl Manicolo was to induct Jeanette Caffryn, who had been waiting for her appointment for several months, but third-party technical faults had caused the delay.
Ms Manicolo then stood down and Sue Sims—a past President—took the chair and formally inducted Greg Eddy as the 2025 president. Greg took the oath of office and proudly showed off the official chain of command.
The nominees for executive positions were unopposed by the assembled members and their appointments were confirmed after they jointly took the oath of office.
The 2025 committee comprises of President Greg Eddy, Vice-President Marje Gillson, Secretary Mary Wood, Treasurer Cheryl Manicolo, Beryl Lucas, Stewart Dickinson, Alessandra Testa, Glenda Vincent, Kaylene McKay, Teresa Carlin, Therese Hirschi, Elaine Eddy, Roma Harris and Michael Halley.
The first members meeting under Mr Eddy’s command will be on Monday, March 31, when Captain Jorgen Berg will tell members about his Antarctic experience as part of Denmark’s involvement.
