MOVIE MATINEE
Movie Matinee – Third Tuesday of the month

Our most recent movie was The Art of Adventure and we highly recommend it. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to buy and Land Rover and travel around the world in the 1950s? How did Robert Bateman get his start as a painter? Who is Bristol Foster and what is his contribution to British Columbia? Go see this entertaining documentary to find out.

Three of us went to the movies and this is what Thora Illing kindly wrote:

"The filmgoers’ choice was One Battle After Another, which very recently won several Oscars. It is a long and sometimes confusing political action story, ending with a mesmerizing car chase. The mix of farce and violence is odd but the acting and cinematography are memorable."

Thanks Thora.

Sidney Probus Current Events

The Current Events group has expanded a bit in the past two months. I now send a notice to about 16 people. In June we had 9 people join in at the home of Susan de Stein to discuss a variety of topics. These included issues such as local vs. provincial control over zoning and other issues, internet scams, the rise of very convincing, but false information on the web, and the purchase of condominiums by the federal and provincial governments, for affordable housing. I always learn something from these sessions and look forward to continuing to do so. If you would like to have your name included on the list of invitees, please contact Ken Marsh. My email is available on the current membership list.

The group meets at 4:00 pm on the second Wednesday of the month, the venue rotating among the members. As a new group, we are looking to welcome additional
Probus members who have an interest in sampling wines. If you are interested, but a bit apprehensive about participating on a tasting group, don’t be intimidated: our group is probably better described as wine enthusiasts than wine connoisseurs. Of course I say that on a personal level, but I suspect the other members have a somewhat similar overview. If you are interested, please email me at ‘bob@witzel.com‘
