Probus South Pacific Ltd has published an informative booklet entitled ‘Your Passport To Probus’ which is a valuable resource for all Probians. We quote verbatim below the following important information from page 23 of this booklet, entitled:

See ‘Victorian Probian’ webpage on this website for details of how and where to submit your articles.
