CORONAVIRUS SURVIVAL GUIDE

Probus South Pacific in collaboration with the Australian Over 50s Living & Lifestyle Guide have produced the
“Coronavirus Survival Guide – Especially for Over 50s & Seniors”
Many of our members are amongst the high risk age group. We sincerely hope this Survival Guide will help keep you safe and healthy during these challenging times, click here to download the guide.

STEPS TO HOME LADDER SAFETY

We understand that people will be confined to their homes for extended periods in order to prevent the spread of Covid 19. For some, this may allow opportunities to do DIY projects, home maintenance and other activities around the home. The NSW Government shares insight on safety practices with ladders and encourages people to consider how to remain safe while using them.

For more information please visit the Steps to Safe Ladders website here.
The Agency for Clinical Innovation can also be contacted by email.

CREATING A GROUP CHAT ON WHATSAPP MESSENGER

Even though Probus Clubs are unable to meet at the moment, there are still many ways for members to remain connected with each other. This week we introduce Probus Members to WhatsApp Messenger. The free group chat feature available on WhatsApp Messenger allows up to 256 participants where members can send messages, voice calls, recorded voice messages, images and videos. You can also video call a limited number of people at the same time. To download WhatsApp Messenger on your Mac or Windows PC click here. To download WhatsApp Messenger on your iPhone visit the App Store and for Samsung visit the Play Store. For a step-by-step guide on using WhatsApp Messenger on your iPhone click here and for Samsung click here.

INCOMING COMMITTEE MEMBERS

President Iris Freeman from the Probus Club of Indooroopilly
Iris shares her plan to tackle the emotional effects of the Coronavirus. Iris has been thinking about how she personally can best cope with everything that’s going on, and decided to look to Probus for help!
Well, not the Probus Club as much as the letters of the word Probus.

So, what is your approach? Do you have any suggestions you would like to put forward? Maybe you would like to write a piece for our E-newsletters. Share your ideas with our Team.
